The estate

Blason des Papes

In the heart of the southern Rhône Valley, the Blason des Papes estate captures the historic essence of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. The 2018 vintage tells the story of a terroir defined by its iconic 'galets roulés' (rounded stones), which soak up the Mediterranean sun by day and release warmth to the vines throughout the cool nights, fostering deep maturity in the grapes. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this wine embodies a commitment to purity and tradition. By adhering to vegan and vegetarian standards, the domaine ensures that the final bottle is a true reflection of the land, showcasing the complex harmony of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre that has made this appellation world-renowned.
