The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine Perle de Châteauneuf-du-Pape, disposant de parcelles sur les plus beaux terroirs dont le fabuleux plateau de la Crau, le Château de Montfaucon offre l’une des expressions les plus abouties du grenache sur ce vignoble mythique.

C’est aussi l’une des propriétés les plus intéressantes de l’appellation à l’heure actuelle. D’autant qu’elle excelle aussi sur des terroirs voisins en Côtes-du-Rhône, et les vins qui s’y rapportent - aussi bien blancs que rouges - sont réalisés avec le même soin, dans un style frais et élégant, sans surenchère de puissance.
Wine With 70% clairette, the 2021 white Côtes du Rhône Baron de Montfaucon offers a fresh, well-balanced, elegant juice. Quick to combine body and finesse with floral and white fruit notes, it's a perfect match as an aperitif, with fresh cheeses or a small fried dish. The essential white of summer!
Vinification Hand harvested. Direct pressing followed by cold settling for 12 to 18 hours. Aged for 8 months in concrete tanks before bottling.
