Quick Overview

Chateau de Montfaucon is an 11th Century hilltop castle that overlooks the Rhone just to the south west of Chateauneuf-Du-Pape. Following the principles of sustainable agriculture 'Comtesse Madeline' is a white Cotes-du-Rhone blend of Viognier, Marsanne and Clairette from 40 year old vines on calcareous pebblestone over sandy, silty soils.

Product Description

Montfaucon village sits on the opposite (right) bank of the Rhône from Châteauneuf-Du-Pape. Approximately 200 years before the Appellation Contrôlée system was created in the 1930's, Montfaucon was one of the original 11 towns which formed La (as opposed to Les) Côte du Rhône to protect the quality of their wine. In 1737 the king's council ordered the barrels to be marked 'CDR' - considered to be the first appellation.
