Wine Tourism

Two centuries old, from old traditions that have succeeded several generations, Domaine la Méreuille is located in the heart of the Côtes du Rhône and Châteauneuf-du-Pape vineyards. An exceptional site, this soil is made of clay and large rolled pebbles, torn off by the Rhône River at the foothills of the Alps. The estate is in a sustainable and reasonable agriculture.

The vineyard is made up of several grape varieties: Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, Cinsault… whose average age is about 65 years. Harvested by hand, the grapes are sorted and then vinified in our cellars for a period of 25 days. After the winter, the wines will be stripped of their lees to be aged in old oak casks. Supervised and tasted regularly, they will be bottled when they are ready. Our two Chateauneuf-du-Pape Rouge wines are available in Tradition and Cuvée '' Les Baptaurels'' as well as a small production of Blanc.

The Domaine has other appellations in Côtes du Rhône and Côtes du Rhône Village.

Because a Châteauneuf-du-Pape is meant to be shared, join the GANG, the crew for those who have Châteauneuf-du-Pape under their skin ! Here, you will discover our privileged experiences in the vineyard, private tastings, events in preview, … We will also talk about wines as we always have, with frankness, passion, and generosity.

As the first AOC wine in France in 1936, the 3,150 hectares of the appellation extend over 5 communes: Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Bédarrides, Courthézon, Orange, and Sorgues. With 300 harvest declarants, the appellation produces an average of 90,000 hectoliters per vintage, or about 12 million bottles, distributed to 93% for red wines and 7% for white wines. Benefiting from a unique natural heritage, the AOC relies on 13 grape varieties, 5 distinct terroirs, and an exceptional climate, marked by sun and mistral, to produce exceptional wines distributed mainly for export (66% of volumes in 2021). Historically and continuously committed to sustainable development issues, 35% of the AOC’s surfaces are managed in organic or biodynamic agriculture.
