Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red 'Pie VI' by M. Chapoutier is a bold and characterful Rhône Valley red, named in tribute to Pope Pius VI, who passed through the region on his journey into exile. Produced by the esteemed house of M. Chapoutier - a name synonymous with biodynamic excellence and terroir expression - this wine is a powerful yet elegant take on one of France's most iconic appellations.
Made from a traditional blend of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre grown on galet-strewn soils, 'Pie VI' offers depth, structure and a harmonious balance between fruit and spice. Aged partly in vats and partly in oak, it captures the essence of Châteauneuf-du-Pape with both generosity and finesse.
