<\/p>\n\nChateauneuf-du-Pape (Ch\u00e2teauneuf-du-Pape) \u2013 historic village between the towns of orange and Avignon in the southern French Rhone Valley. Known for its powerful, full-bodied red wines primarily from the grape varieties of the classic “Rhone blend”: Grenache, Syrah and Mourvedre.\n <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\nThe vast majority of red wines of this appellation are made from the Trinity varieties, although only 18 are allowed here, which include both red and white.\n<\/p>\n
\nAt the local vineyards, the ball is ruled by Grenache. In one way or another it is present in every bottle of red wine ch\u00e2teauneuf, and many of them are made entirely from this variety. Here Grenache manifests itself better than in any other French region, creating a juicy bouquet of jam of red fruit tones and high potential alcohol.\n<\/p>\n
\nNext in importance are Syrah and Mourvedre. Syrah works better in the cooler regions. It gives the wine structure and spice tones. Sun, postmenopause Mourvedre reveals more warm and dry vineyards. He says in blends for depth and a hint of bitter chocolate.\n<\/p>\n
\nKunuaz is the only grade in addition to the classical Trinity, which is grown here in any appreciable quantities.\n<\/p>\n
\nThe rest Cinsault (Cinsaut), muscardin (Muscardin), picpoul Noir (Picpoul Noir), Terre Noire (Terret Noir), vakaris (Vaccarese) \u2013 grow to a very limited extent.\n<\/p>\n
\nChateauneuf-du-Pape and produces white wines: rich, full-bodied, with a bright characteristic bouquet. Raw material is coarse varieties of the South of France, primarily Grenache Blanc, Roussanne (Roussanne), claret (Clairette) and burbulenk (Bourboulenc). To complement them virtually unknown outside of the South of France claret rose, Grenache Gris, Picardy, picpoul Blanc Gris picpoul.\n<\/p>\n
\nThe soil of the surrounding area of Chateauneuf-du-Pape is a mixture of sand and pebbles, which was generally the case for the southern half of the Rhone Valley. They are formed mainly by ancient rivers from different historical periods. The city with its vineyards located on the East side of the Rhone river.\n<\/p>\n

\nThe climate here is Mediterranean and very dry. Chateauneuf-du-Pape is the most dry of all the appellations of the Rhone. Thus, irrigation during the growing season here is strictly prohibited. In extreme cases, the winemaker must apply for special permission of the French regulator for irrigation of vines.\n<\/p>\n
\nChateauneuf-du-Pape literally means “new castle of the Pope” and echoes from the past \u2013 from the beginning of the 14th century, when Avignon was chosen as the papal residence. Dad then was Clement V, whose name received the prestigious Chateau Pape Clement (Ch\u00e2teau Pape Cl\u00e9ment) in the Bordeaux region of Graves.\n<\/p>\n
\nHowever, as a wine name, the glorious history of Chateauneuf has less than a century. Until the early 20th century unnamed local wines combined with the wines from Avignon. That all changed in the 1920s, when Baron Pierre Le Roy de Boiseaumari\u00e9 \u2013 owner of the Chateau Fort, known as Baron Le Roy, drew up a list of rules to ensure the quality of the local wine production \u2013 the document, which became the prototype of the famous French appellations.
\nOfficial registration of the appellation Ch\u00e2teauneuf-du-Pape was accomplished in June 1929, becoming one of the first in the country. To this day it remains a prestigious wine labels.\n<\/p>\n
\nThe village of ch\u00e2teauneuf-du-Pape is also known curious law of 1950, prohibiting overflight and landing of “flying saucers” and “flying cigars” in its territory.\n<\/p>\n

\nThe reason for this ridiculous law was the incident during the cold war, when hovering over the vineyards airship terrified the local population, almost causing panic.\n<\/p>\n
