38 Parcelles, Sablet

A powerful red with spicy notes.

Presentation

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.

Built on a sandy hillock which gave it its name, this typically Provençal village is home to narrow streets and strange staircases with uneven steps. Its vineyard, with gentle slopes and an elongated silhouette, thrives on sandy soils, decalcified red clay and pebbles of varying sizes.
