Domaine Riche produces wine in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, the Southern Rhône's most prestigious appellation. The region's warm, stone-strewn terroir and Mediterranean climate favor the dark, structured reds that define the area. The winery's flagship Châteauneuf-du-Pape blends Syrah, Mourvèdre, and Grenache—the classic Southern Rhône triumvirate. Syrah brings peppery spice and dark fruit; Mourvèdre adds tannin and earthiness; Grenache contributes roundness and alcohol warmth. This wine has been assessed by Wine Advocate, Decanter, Wine Enthusiast, Wine Spectator, and Falstaff.
