The Crau plateau
the origin of wine
The Crau vineyard is one of the most beautiful terroirs ofChateauneuf du Pape: the old vines, averaging 60 years old, that give life to thisOld TelegraphThey are in perfect health. They receive special care in this landscape of rounded pebbles left behind by Alpine glaciers as they carved out the Rhône Valley. Here, the stone heats up during the day and releases its warmth at night. The mistral wind blows and dries the vines, protecting them from potential pressures. The estate cultivates a passion and a commitment to excellence for a wide range of grape varieties permitted within the appellation.Chateauneuf du Papeand especially for this very capricious and wonderfulGrenache.
