Chateauneuf-du-Pape Blanc Cabrieres 2015

Soil & soil
To the north of Avignon on the left bank of the Rhone, the territory of Châteauneuf-du-Pape extends on 5 communes between Orange and Avignon. It is a succession of clay-limestone plateaus with the famous rolled pebbles that allow the vines to withstand the drought of the Mediterranean climate and the mistral. The area of our vineyard in AOC Châteauneuf-du-Pape is 20 hectares. It is spread over the three main terroirs of Châteauneuf-du-Pape: rolled pebbles, Urgonnians and sands. This diversity contributes to the aromatic complexity of our wines.
