Owners of La Fiole du Pape, the most famous Châteauneuf-du-Pape in the world. 

Château Maucoil is a historic 43-hectare estate located in the north of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, on a terroir of safres and the Villafranchian plateau. Nestled in a green setting, the estate cultivates its vines in a single block using organic farming and biodynamic methods. Its range includes Côtes du Rhône Villages and Châteauneuf-du-Pape wines, both white and red, made mainly from Grenache but also from the 13 grape varieties of the appellation.
The estate is moving towards terroir studies and parcel-based selections, using single-varietal approaches, and the style of the wines is geared toward freshness and elegance, with a clearly asserted Burgundian signature, reinforced by the recent arrival of Pierre Vincent, named Best Red Winemaker at the International Wine Challenge in London in 2010 and 2014.

Rooted in Châteauneuf-du-Pape for three generations, Château de la Gardine is a family estate where wine is crafted with patience, passion, and respect for the terroir. Renowned for its faithful expression of the land and excellent aging potential, the estate produces iconic red and white wines — from the Châteauneuf Tradition to the iconic Immortelle, as well as bold expressions like Peur Bleue. The vineyard of Château de la Gardine also extends to the Rasteau appellation, where the family produces structured and generous Rasteau reds, true to the sunny and powerful character of this Southern Rhône Cru.

The Brunel family also operates Château Saint-Roch in Lirac, producing fruity and structured reds, as well as fresh and mineral whites, benefiting from exceptional terroirs. "Do not underestimate the potential of Château Saint-Roch from the Brunel family in Lirac, where excellent value wines can be found." (Wine Advocate)

Since 2007, the family has developed a trading company, Brunel de la Gardine, offering a selection of Rhône Valley Crus in partnership with top winemakers. This range reflects the typicity of the terroirs, from north to south of the valley: Côtes-du-Rhône, Condrieu, Saint-Joseph, Hermitage, Crozes-Hermitage, Cornas, Cairanne, Vacqueyras, Châteauneuf-du-Pape, and Gigondas.

Wines from Château de la Gardine and Brunel de la Gardine are bottled in the signature Gardine bottle, a symbol of quality, identity, and authenticity.

Located in the South of France, bordered by the Rhône river, Château La Nerthe estate represents 220 acres & 57 plots, a unique combination devoted to create rich and complex Châteauneuf-du-Pape wines. The history of the estate began in 1560 with the Tulles de Villefranche family: their wines were recognized and appreciated during 3 centuries. Famille Richard, current owner, has been pursuing this tradition of excellence & innovation for over 35 years. Since then, the Richard family works as a pioneer to achieve organic certification in 1998.

The other properties of 'Famille Richard' are the following:

Beaujolais: Château de Corcelles and Château des Tours (Crus du Beaujolais: Brouilly, Fleurie, Morgon)

Bordeaux: Château Victoria (Haut-Médoc Cru Bourgeois) - Château de Barbe & Château Escalette (Côtes de Bourg) - Château Gantonnet (Bordeaux Entre-deux-mers)

Since the 17th century, our family's winemaking activity has been  documented by the purchase from the Bishop of Avignon of a plot of  vineyard to the north of the appellation. Many generations have  succeeded one another in the service of the vine, but it was only in  1954 that Lucien Brunel created the brand Les Cailloux in order to  develop and promote the specificities and qualities of the estate's  wines. Henceforth, the estate would be referred to as Domaine Les  Cailloux. In 1971, André Brunel took over the management of the estate.  Under his leadership, the Domaine experienced rapid growth: acquiring  vineyards in Côtes du Rhône and Vin de Pays, and launching the famous  Cuvée Centenaire in 1989. He also introduced significant changes in the  vineyard management process, being one of the first in Châteauneuf du  Pape to practice cover cropping and adopt a non-chemical approach to  vine cultivation. In 2012, his son, Fabrice Brunel, joined him to  perpetuate the family's history. The Domaine spans three appellations:  Châteauneuf du Pape, of course, but also Côtes du Rhône and Vin de Pays  de Vaucluse. Our pursuit of quality, respect for our terroirs, and the  ambition to always offer our customers wines that they will appreciate  as they age, drive us to take extreme care in their production,  regardless of their appellation. The differences primarily concern aging  periods (longer for Châteauneuf, shorter for Vin de Pays to make them  more quickly accessible) and the use of barrels (for Syrahs in  Châteauneuf du Pape to soften tannins, absent in Côtes du Rhône and Vin  de Pays to preserve the freshness of the fruit).

On the heights of « Clavin » and at the northern limit of  Chateauneuf du Pape, the estate was born in the 17th century.

Today, this old vines vineyard’s of 20 hectares (50 acres), in one single bloc, shares out between red Châteauneuf du Pape « les Trois Sources », red Châteauneuf du Pape «les Hauts-lieux» and red and white Côtes du Rhône « Clavin ».

The north facing terroir of slopes * and its microclimate gives to this unique location a special ability, remaining very well adapted to the extreme current climatic conditions  of the southern Rhône Valley and producing singular, harmonious

and balanced wines.

​

From  generation to generation, terroirs are benefiting from the greatest  respect and the vigneron, who remains attentive and sensitive,  perpetuates the good practices and the « good sense of the farmer ».

All  the traditional and original grape-varieties are selected, reproduced  and planted using complantation (different kind of grape-varieties mixed  in

the same plot). Harvests entirely done by hands allow a first selection in the vineyard and a second selection when the grapes (transported in small boxes), arrive at the winery.

​

The  vinification continues to be traditional and the fermentation is  natural, without any addition. The priceless natural yeasts located in  the pruine (berry), reveals both singularity of each terroirs and single  expression for each vintage.

Following  a long and slow fermentation, wines are drained away in foudre (large  oak barrels). Then, after 18 months aging, the bottling is done without fining and filtering.

Coming from a winegrowing family who have worked in the vines since 1650, the Domaine des 3 Cellier was created in 2007. Ludovic, Julien, Benoit and Nathalie Cellier produce wines in Châteauneuf du Pape Red and white, Côtes-du-Rhône and Vin de France Red, all in organic farming. The winery is located at the southern part of the village of Châteauneuf du Pape, in the heart of the Appellation. Recognized by the specialized press, we are proud to be able to show our range of wines. At the same time, we offer a selection of wines from the Rhône Valley.

Seven generations have shaped the Fontavin Domaine, a vineyard of 45 hectares practicing organic agriculture. On this land engraved by family memories, Hélène Chouvet Coton cultivates her vines with a humanistic approach. In this winery, three women conscientiously produce stylish wines. this result in a production of wines of freedom, with both fruit and strenght expressions.

The Vignobles Strasser Radziwill group is composed of several wine estates, located in the most beautiful appellations of the Southern Rhone Valley, such as the Domaine de Coyeux in Beaumes de Venise, the Domaine Le Prieuré des Papes in Châteauneuf-du-Papes, the Domaine de La Pousterle in the Luberon and the Domaine du Moulin Blanc in Tavel.

Domaine Le Prieuré des Papes is located in the northern part of Châteauneuf-du-Pape in the Cabrières district,

the estate vineyard is grown on sandy soil over a limestone subsoil. North orientation brings a lot of freshness to the wines. We look to produce modern Châteauneuf-du-Pape, with light use of oak and mixing our aging vessel such as wine globe, different oak size barrels and eggs.

We produce 3 red Châteauneuf-du-Pape (2 single vineyard plot), 1 white Châteauneuf and 1 red Côtes du Rhône.

This is what our wines are all about: translating the uniqueness of Provence, the violence of its climate, the aridity of its soils and the ardor of its people... Our summer-sun-drenched fruit offers the sensuality of Mediterranean figs, Mont Ventoux cherries and wild strawberries. Sometimes the Mistral breeze blows the thyme and rosemary of a five-year-old red Châteauneuf du Pape. Ripeness suits our wines well; while the fennel of the wayside gives an anis touch our great whites. Our wines are a journey to Provence.

From mother to daughter, we've worked this terroir for 21 years to bring out its exceptional character.
