A pleasure of delicacy and fruit...

Presentation

Presentation
The Lieu-Dit les Combes d'Arnevel is an estate in its own right, on the extreme western part of the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation, overlooking the Rhône and its valley. This place, unique and majestic, on a splendid Urgonian terroir, produces wines combining the fruit of the sun and the strength of the rock.
But also ?
Given our attachment to this magnificent place in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, we offer our other wines under "Les Arnavès". You will discover a complete range of wines from the Southern Rhône Valley and Provence.
Location
The Côtes du Rhône is divided into two distinct climatic zones between the north and the south of the valley. In the southern part, the typically Mediterranean climate is characterized by very sunny, hot and dry summers, and mild winters where humidity is more abundant. The sunshine, the heat, the sometimes violent wind and a relative drought are conducive to good plant development and ripening of the vines, while limiting diseases. A valuable aid for the production of great wines. (Source CDR)
