Intoxicating aromas of nectarines, peaches and melon lead to a big, viscous and multi-textured palate filled with layers of pear, ripe apples, fig, melon and honeysuckle that dovetail on the seemingly endless finish. A majestic and thrilling wine that few ever get to try.

Chateau de Vaudieu Winery

Originally named Val de Dieu in 1767 by the Archbishop of Avignon who blessed ".this property of vines and groves.", the land of Vaudieu has always been known as the Valley of God .
Situated just east of the village of Chateauneuf du Pape, Chateau de Vaudieu lies at the base of the plateau of Mont Redon and the property is an agglomeration of hilltops, gentle slopes and terraces and is one of the few wineries of the region that has been in constant production since the 18 th century .
Currently the vineyard is planted with 40 hectares of Grenache Noir, 16 of Syrah and 4 of Mouvedre (Mataro). With over 180,000 vines and an ambitious replanting programme, each plot is planned to attain its utmost potential, planted with the most appropriate variety and realigned to maximise its exposition.
The remaining 10 hectares are given over to a limited production of white wine and are planted with Roussanne (37%), Grenache blanc (29%), Clairette (18%), Bourboulenc (10%) and Picardan, an ancient and rare variety in Chateauneuf du Pape, making up the remainder.
Planted over 30 years ago, these vines are situated on a plot covered by a thin layer of blindingly white calcerous stones and consistently give a wine that is vivacious yet elegant with aromas of grilled almonds, honey and citrus fruits.
