Châteauneuf-du-Pape
Chateauneuf's history is extremely dense.
One of the most important periods to retain goes back to the time when the Popes had their residence in Avignon in the Xvth Century.
The village of Chateauneuf-du-Pape was at that time the papal summer residence (Jean XXII, Urbin V and Innocent VI) and they succeeded in imposing its wines. In the early Xxth Century winegrowers were regulerly acknowledged for their wines by a special board of judges which was set up under the instigation of Baron "le Roy de Boiseaumarié."
