Châteauneuf du Pape Rouge "Galets Blonds" 2019 - Patrick Lesec

The name of Châteauneuf du Pape dates back to the "Avignon Papacy", when Pope Clement V, in order to escape the riots in Rome, moved the papal court to Avignon. In the 14th century, a new castle was built capable of accommodating the papacy, around whose vast territories they started growing vines. Châteauneuf du Pape today is a southern Rhône appellation, whose wines can include up to thirteen indigenous grape varieties, a piece of history, a testimony that reaches down to us. This Châteauneuf du Pape Rouge “Galets Blonds” by Patrick Lesec becomes the proud standard-bearer of this appellation, offering us an elegant, complex wine, with excellent drinkability and freshness. Absolutely to try.
