WINE DESCRIPTION

Paul Autard Châteauneuf-du-Pape is a premium wine produced by the renowned winemaker Paul Autard in the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation of the Rhône Valley in France. The vineyards are located on rocky soils with a mix of clay and limestone, which impart unique flavors and aromas to the wine. The winemaking process involves traditional techniques such as hand-harvesting, destemming, and aging in oak barrels. The resulting wine is a full-bodied and complex blend, with notes of dark fruit, spice, and earthy undertones. It is a perfect choice for wine enthusiasts who appreciate the rich and bold flavors of a classic Châteauneuf-du-Pape.

ORIGINS

Winery: Paul Autard

Region: Rhone

The Rhone wine region is located in southeastern France. It runs along the Rhone River roughly from Lyon in the north to Avignon in the south. It is divided into two main sub-regions: the Northern Rhone, running from Lyon to Montelimar, and the Southern Rhone, from Montelimar to Avignon. Although wines of all color are made, both regions are most famous for thier red wine. The Northern Rhone is known for its full-bodied red wines made from Syrah grapes with the possible inclusion of some white grapes, while the Southern Rhone is known for its blends of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre grapes. The region has a long history of wine production, dating back to the ancient Romans with the sites of some former Roman vineyards being replanted surrounding the town of Vienne.
