Discovering a wine means mobilizing all your senses and understanding its terroir of origin.
We suggest you combine these two aspects during an original tasting of Châteauneuf-du-Pape wines.
Set off to discover the diversity of our terroirs and learn how to detect the subtleties of each soil and their impact on the unique character of our wines. *
Using a taste-vin, focus on the wine mouthfeel and develop your ability to identify and describe your sensations. Use a set of fabrics with different textures (Le Toucher du Vin®, developed by Cyrille TOTA), to help you better understand the tannins and connect them with the terroirs.
*The diversity of our terroirs inspired the publication of a book by Georges Truc, famous oenologist & geologist: Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Histoire Géologique & Naissance des Terroirs (you can find this book in French at the Vinadea Wine shop, just above La Vinothèque.)
