Châteauneuf-du-Pape wine

Châteauneuf-du-Pape is a renowned French wine from the Southern Rhône Valley, known for its rich, bold flavors and complexity. Made primarily from Grenache grapes, often blended with Syrah, Mourvèdre, and others, it offers a harmonious balance of fruitiness, spice, and earthy notes. The name means “New Castle of the Pope,” referencing its historical connection to the papal residence in the 14th century. Typically aged to develop its depth, these wines are versatile—pairing well with hearty dishes or aged on their own. They exemplify the region’s tradition of producing powerful, sophisticated Rhône wines.
