The wine
Full of juicy red-berried fruit interwoven with appealing warm and savoury flavours from the Southern Rhône. Smooth and easy drinking with a supple structure, light tannins and a fruity finish. Founded in 1924, the Cellier des Princes is the only cooperative cellar in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Old-vine fruit from member growers, and a reminder of how much quality a well-run cooperative can deliver.
The producer
Cellier des Princes
View all Cellier des Princes winesFounded in 1924, the Cellier des Princes is the only cooperative cellar in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. It draws on the meticulous work of its member growers, on complex and varied soils, and on vineyards with unusually favourable exposure and considerable vine age.
The result is wine of real structure and opulence, shaped by the hot dry climate and the chalky, pebbled soils of the southern Rhône. Cooperatives are too often dismissed; this one demonstrates what happens when a group of growers pools genuinely good land.
