The Legendary Châteauneuf-du-Pape
If there is French wine that everyone deserves to taste, it’s probably Châteauneuf-du-Pape. It is widely considered by most to be the benchmark of the Southern Rhone producing some remarkable wines, and we think its fair to say it’s like the gateway drug to fine French wine. With 320 growers and nearly 3134 hectares of vineyards in the region, it produces an average 14 million bottles each year. So join us as we explore the wine styles of this diverse wine region in a completely unique tasting not to be missed!
