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
Indescribable… and irresistible!
Its history has experienced multiple twists and turns since this grape variety almost disappeared... Originally, it was exclusively cultivated in the northern Côtes du Rhône (from Vienna to Valence), before becoming one of the most popular in California. Today, this white grape variety is distinguished as much by its rarity as by the complexity of some of its aromas, so shifting that they escape description.

Tasting
Its imposing perfumes reveal very full-bodied aromas on the palate, of admirable length. This grape variety produces fine white wines, with a rich and creamy body.
Very fragrant and subtle, it reveals moving aromas of yellow fruits (mango, pear, peach, apricot, quince), fresh flowers (violet, iris, acacia), musk and spices, but also dried fruits ( toasted almonds and hazelnuts).
