Rich, spicy and powerful—three good reasons why France's Châteauneuf-du-Pape wines are beloved around the world. The Southern Rhône's largest appellation was the first in France to require production rules, making it the first AOC. While there are 13 permitted grape varieties a winemaker here can choose from, many of Châteauneuf-du-Pape's red wines are made from pure Grenache, with Mourvèdre and Syrah also featuring heavily. The climate is warm and Mediterranean-influenced, with hot days, cool nights and drying winds to keep grapes healthy. This gives the vineyards ideal conditions, aided by rocky soils and galets roulés stones, which soak up the daytime heat to radiate it back to the vines at night.
