Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Wine village in Vaucluse, France
Located 18 kilometers north of Avignon, this medieval settlement stands at the base of a fortress with views over the Comtat plain.
Pope John XXII established a summer residence in the 14th century and initiated the planting of vineyards on the surrounding stony terrain.
The village received its wine appellation designation in 1929, setting high standards for grape cultivation and wine production methods.
Multiple wine tasting cellars near Place de la Fontaine offer opportunities to sample local wines produced from thirteen permitted grape varieties.
The remnants of the papal castle, including a section of wall and high tower, provide expansive views across the Rhone Valley toward Luberon.
