Terroir The Châteauneuf-du-Pape terroir is renowned for its pebbly soils, which retain the sun's heat and help the grapes to ripen to perfection. The Mediterranean climate, with its hot, dry summers and mild winters, provides ideal conditions for growing vines. This unique terroir gives the wine its distinctive characteristics, including its solid tannic structure and complex aromas. The rounded pebbles play a crucial role in regulating soil temperature and allowing good drainage, which is essential for the quality of the grapes.
