The Winery
The vineyards of the Cellier des Princes, which is the only co-operative on the Châteauneuf du Pape area, stretches over 5 villages with a very rich and diverse production: Courthézon, Bedarrides, Jonquières, Châteauneuf du Pape and Orange. Our wines are vinified with a great number of grape varieties – up to thirteen for the Châteauneuf du Pape. The main grapes used are the Grenache, the Syrah or the Mourvèdre together with a whole set of ancient varieties. Each plot of our vineyard is selected carefully and individually so as to elaborate our different wines. This is the key to the complexity, the diversity and the constant quality of our products. Our wines, rooted in their soil, always reflect their origins. And it is these very soils which give the different characteristics of our wines; the deep pebbles for strength, the dry and hot sandy soils for power and spices, the chalky sandstones for structure, the clayey – siliceous hillocks for richness and roundness.
