Presentation
Our Châteauneuf-du-Pape estate is spread over 38 plots of land. The origins of the Quiot Family coming partly from Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Florence and Jean-Baptiste decided to give the name "38 Parcels" to a variation of wines from the Southern Rhône Valley & Provence.

This range of wine is perfectly suited to a current drinking style. The Quiot Family is always looking for modern wines, while respecting tradition and the appellation.
Location
Since 2010, the Rasteau vintage has been recognized as an AOC (before, Rasteau was a Côtes du Rhône Villages with a commune name). Rasteau wines are, generally speaking, marked by aromas of very ripe red and black fruits, nuanced by light scents of garrigue. On the palate, spicy notes of cocoa, licorice and leather enrich the palate.
Terroir
The vineyard extends throughout the Rastelain territory and does not exceed 360m altitude. To the north, a landscape of gentle hills is hollowed out to form the famous spurs. To the south, ancient terraces stretch their slopes, thus diversifying the relief.
Our only plot in Rasteau is located on a terroir of red clay and small pebbles.
