Pere Anselme La Fiole du Pape Châteauneuf-du-Pape AOC Vintage

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.

Laurent Brotte has created a Fiole modelled on the original Fiole du Pape, a unique and rare item, partly hand-made and containing a fine reserve wine with good ageing potential. Each bottle has a unique handcrafted iridescent and textured glass label, made by a local Provençal master glassmaker. The Vintage Fiole is sealed with natural wax.

Producing Fiole Vintage is a complex process that requires expertise, passion and patience, with ageing and blending playing key roles in its creation. As the ageing process nears completion, the Brotte family and their oenologists determine the ideal blend proportions. This ancestral expertise brings out the best of each grape variety, creating a complex, well-balanced wine that reflects both its terroir and its vintage.

When you drink a La Fiole Vintage, you experience the fruit of meticulous craftsmanship. Each sip reveals a refined complexity of fruit, oak, spice, and floral aromas, all thanks to the Brotte family’s exceptional savoir-faire.
