For the growers of our estate, what finer metaphor could there be than to accede to this key, which beckons us into the world of beauty and creation!
And for the makers of this Châteauneuf du Pape estate, what finer symbol could there be than to feel the grapes being coaxed by their hands to express the nobility of this land, which still exudes a magnificent aura bestowed by a century or more of papal residency: the terraces of the Rhône, the shadow of Mont Ventoux, the majesty of the castle crowning the age-old village, the presence nearby of the papal palace in Avignon, the generosity of the Provençal earth, the symphony of our seven varieties, the warmth that the pebbles slowly diffuse during the languid summer nights, and the purple and golden hues of the heavy bunches, nourished by the last rays of September sun.
All of these sensations will move you and provide the keys to our kingdom, promising a pleasure made for sharing.
