Châteauneuf-du-Pape, located in France’s southern Rhône Valley between Orange and Avignon, is a historic appellation best known for its robust, Grenache-led red blends, often including Syrah and Mourvèdre. While red wine dominates production, the region also crafts small amounts of distinctive white wines from a mix of traditional varieties like Grenache Blanc, Roussanne, Clairette, and Bourboulenc, offering rich texture, floral aromatics, and bright acidity. With its iconic **galets roulés** (rounded stones) and sun-drenched terroir, Châteauneuf-du-Pape remains a benchmark for powerful yet nuanced southern Rhône wines—both red and white.
