\r\n \r\nWith its 3,200 hectares, Châteauneuf-du-Pape is the largest appellation in the Rhône region. Between Orange and Avignon, the town of Châteauneuf-du-Pape dominates its vineyards, which stretch out at the foot of the remains of its fortress and around Sorgues. For a long time, Châteauneuf-du-Pape's reputation as a confidential winegrower began in the 18th century, but really took off in the 1930s. Thanks to the efforts of Baron Le Roy de Boiseaumarié, this region was the first to adopt strict regulations. It was on this basis that the appellations contrôlées were introduced. The vineyards are located on the former bed of the Rhône, on a terroir composed of clay, limestone and sand, often covered with the famous \"galets roulés\" (rolled pebbles) carried by the river in the Quaternary period. These pebbles are renowned for storing heat during the day and releasing it to the vines at night. It is on this exceptional mistral-swept soil that the vines draw their strength and give the wine all its richness. Here, everything contributes to making exceptional wines. The appellation boasts up to 13 grape varieties, allowing winemakers to play off the particularities of each one. Châteauneuf-du-Pape is a wine for laying down, closing after one year in bottle and reopening four to five years later. \r\n \r\nMany great estates contribute to the reputation of theChâteauneuf-du-Papeterroir. These include, but are not limited to, Château de Beaucastel, Château Rayas, Château de La Gardine, Domaine Tardieu Laurent, Domaine de Beaurenard, E .Guigal, Le Clos du Caillou, Domaine de la Janasse, Clos des Papes, Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe and Maison M.

The Châteauneuf-du-Pape vineyard is the largest, oldest and most famous cru in the Côtes-du-Rhône. In the 14th century, the papacy, based in Avignon, chose Châteauneuf-du-Pape as its summer residence. The successive popes, notably under the influence of John XXII, encouraged wine production and developed the vineyards. The rigorous conditions of wine production are a constant in the history of this vineyard, and will serve as the basis for certain points of the AOC legislation.
