Châteauneuf-du-Pape: The Southern Rhône's Crown

from The Daily Decant · host Lauren Brychell

The name everyone knows, the wine fewer people understand. Today's episode goes deep on Châteauneuf-du-Pape, the southern Rhône's most famous appellation, built on ancient riverbeds and blended from up to 18 grape varieties. We cover what makes it unique, what the famous stones actually do, the difference between Grenache-dominant and Mourvèdre-dominant styles, and five producers worth knowing beyond Beaucastel.
