OF THE APPELLATION
CHATEAUNEUF POPE ?
While the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation, in the southern Rhône valley, is world-renowned for its powerful, age-worthy red wines, it also produces distinctive white wines of great finesse, veritable rising stars that brilliantly express this exceptional terroir. To learn more, we spoke with Laure Capeau of Domaine Berthet-Rayne, one of the appellation's flagship family estates.
Throughout the ages, Domaine Berthet-Rayne has distinguished itself by its mastery of a carefully selected palette of grape varieties, anchoring its heritage in the exceptional terroir of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Among the 13 grape varieties authorized in the appellation, the estate has chosen to focus on 8 of them: Grenache, Mourvèdre, Cinsault, Syrah, Counoise, Clairette, Roussanne, and Bourboulenc. This thoughtful selection reflects the estate's commitment to creating wines that embody the very essence of Châteauneuf-du-Pape.

LES MILLÉSIMES 2022 ET 2023 DU RHÔNE MÉRIDIONAL : UNE ANALYSE DE JEB DUNNUCK
Châteauneuf-du-Pape, France – Le célèbre critique de vins Jeb Dunnuck a récemment publié la première partie de son rapport très attendu sur les millésimes 2022 et 2023 du Rhône Méridional. Cette analyse, qui couvre les vins actuellement en bouteille (2022) et ceux encore en fûts (2023), offre un aperçu détaillé de l'évolution de cette région viticole emblématique, avec un focus particulier sur l'appellation phare, Châteauneuf-du-Pape.
Après plus de vingt ans de visites régulières dans le Rhône méridional, Jeb Dunnuck témoigne d'une transformation remarquable de la région, tant au niveau de son infrastructure œnotouristique que de la qualité et de la sophistication de ses vins. Autrefois réputée pour ses rouges robustes, la région se distingue aujourd'hui par un équilibre entre le caractère provençal classique, la pureté et le raffinement. Les vins blancs, jadis plus confidentiels, sont désormais des points forts de chaque millésime.
