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.
