The estate and the wine |
|
|
For over 6 years, we have introduced you to this gem of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, with vineyards on the most beautiful terroirs, including the fabulous plateau of La Crau. Château de Montfaucon offers one of this legendary vineyard's most interesting and accomplished expressions.
In the Lirac appellation it also manages, with the same care, to offer the best of the Mediterranean by crafting fresh and elegant reds and whites, without an excess of power. |
