Located near Avignon, at the heart of the Rhone Valley, the fortified stronghold of Bonpas (1318), from the French “Bon passage”, has watched over the safe crossing of the Durance River along the historic route that once linked Rome with Avignon.
These famous vineyards surround the village of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. The vines are planted in sandstone and sand-based soils on south/south-east facing slopes where they benefit from excellent exposure to the sun.
