Pere Anselme La Fiole Côtes-du-Rhône Rouge

The Legend of La Fiole dates back to 1952 after a meeting between a winemaker from Châteauneuf du Pape and a renowned glass artist from the region. Together they imagined a bottle with curved shapes, reminiscent of the vines of old Grenache vines bent by the Mistral wind. Much more than a simple bottle, it became the ideal bottle for a great Châteauneuf du Pape wine.

This wine comes from various soil types, with each plot planted to match the grape varieties best suited to those soils. Grenache, which makes up about 70% of the blend, thrives on sandy-clay soils on hillsides with good south-southeast exposure. This givesthe grapes a fleshier, more concentrated character and provides a well-structured base for blending. Syrah (30%) is primarily grown on slightly silty clay at the foot of the slopes, where the cooler, more humid microclimate producesfresh, fruity grapes.
