FAMILLE RAVOIRE, Châteauneuf-du-Pape Rouge 2022

By naming this range in honour of the epic of Capitan Ravoire – a valiant knight in the 16th century in the Comtat Venaissin in 1593 - Olivier Ravoire was keen to highlight the history of the Ravoire family. In this respect, the different appellations have been named using terms associated with chivalry.

Vinification and maturing are carried out at the estate under rigorous supervision by our team, taking into consideration the specific requirements of each vintage and endeavouring to optimise the potential of each estate. Combining the wines thus obtained with our exclusive approach we select and purchase each year the best vats. Maturing is refined each month up until the bottling which is performed using our own mobiles units.

These wines aim to accompany you in your gourmet experiences, for  mature tasting, rich authentic conviviality and instant enjoyment."
