Châteauneuf-du-Pape is the southern Rhône’s most celebrated, sought-after red – and this is one every fan needs to try.
The world’s leading wine critic (and Rhône fanatic) Robert Parker has been a devoted follower of Cuvée du Vatican since their 1970 vintage – the first case of Châteauneuf he ever bought! Pope John XXIII blessed Cuvée du Vatican in 1958 … and they still send a case to Rome each year. These days, the Diffonty family’s at the helm – “helping lead Châteauneuf-du-Pape to new levels of quality,” says Wine Spectator. Leader Jean-Marc “has been doing a fabulous job here for over a decade,” raves Parker.
