Domaine le Prieuré des Papes

Southern Rhône Grenache and Syrah from Châteauneuf-du-Pape's storied appellation.

Domaine le Prieuré des Papes sits in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, the Southern Rhône's most prestigious appellation. The domaine works with the region's classic varieties—Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre—the trio that defines the area's bold, structured reds. Vieilles Vignes Châteauneuf-du-Pape and La Bessade Châteauneuf-du-Pape, both drawing from old vines and ripe fruit, have earned recognition from Wine Advocate, Decanter, Wine Spectator, Wine Enthusiast, and Falstaff. Le Couchant Châteauneuf-du-Pape blends the same core varieties into a more approachable expression. These wines reflect the terroir of the Southern Rhône: warm stone-studded soils, Mediterranean sun, and the mistral wind that concentrates flavor and keeps acidity alive. The domaine's portfolio shows the range possible within Châteauneuf-du-Pape's generous regulations, from single-varietal focus to traditional blends.
