Complete wine guide"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>We'd like to introduce you to one of our partner estates: the <strong>Ch\u00e2teau Cabri\u00e8res<\/strong>. The estate is located in Ch\u00e2teauneuf-du-Pape, in the Vaucluse department of Provence, in the southern Rh\u00f4ne Valley. Visit our online wine cellar to find the finest Ch\u00e2teau Cabri\u00e8res wines from the estate:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.comptoirdesmillesimes.com\/chateau-cabrieres\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">&gt; Ch\u00e2teau Cabri\u00e8res from the estate<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The property dates back to a long time ago, with the discovery and preservation of a bread oven door whose stonework is reminiscent of 14th and 15th century techniques, proving the ch\u00e2teau's age. The estate is located on the Ch\u00e2teauneuf-du-Pape plateau, 3 km north of the village and 7 km south of Orange. They produce white and red Ch\u00e2teauneuf-du-Pape Appellation d'Origine Contr\u00f4l\u00e9e wines (Tradition, Prestige and Centenaire), red and ros\u00e9 C\u00f4tes du Rh\u00f4ne wines (Eclat de Ros\u00e9), and table wine (Chicatouille de Cabri\u00e8res). In this article, I'll tell you about the history of this estate, and present one of its main cuv\u00e9es.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">History of the estate<\/h2>\n<p>Visit <strong>Ch\u00e2teau Cabri\u00e8res<\/strong> has belonged to the <strong>Arnaud family : <\/strong>Louis in the 50s; his son Guy succeeded him, and since March 2009, Agn\u00e8s and her husband Patrick Vernier have taken over the running of the estate with the same aim of perpetuating it. The Ch\u00e2teauneuf-du-Pape terroir is highly distinctive and unique. The vast majority of the terroir is made up of alluvial terraces or quartzite pebbles, rolled by the Rh\u00f4ne and embedded in a red matrix of decomposed clay.<\/p>\n<p>The 3 types of soil that characterize the Ch\u00e2teauneuf-du-Pape A.O.C. are :<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Gravelly soils<\/li>\n<li>Sandy soils (along the Rh\u00f4ne)<\/li>\n<li>Pebbles or rolled flint (quartzite) store heat during the day and release it at night for perfect ripeness.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Ch\u00e2teau Cabri\u00e8res has these 3 types of soil, and the subsoil is also important. It is essentially composed of Burdigalian molasse. The region also benefits from a specific climate. With around 300 days of sunshine a year and the mistral, a strong, dry northerly wind that blows more than 120 days a year. It's one of the driest areas in the Rh\u00f4ne Valley and one of the sunniest in France. This climate allows the vines to produce highly concentrated, long-keeping wines that are reflected in their prestigious bottles.<\/p>\n<p>The 13 grape varieties make up the exceptional \"Prestige\" and \"Centenaire\" cuv\u00e9es. Each grape variety contributes its own specificity to produce a great red wine for ageing, with structure, body, tannins, aromas, exceptional fruit, freshness and roundness. Ch\u00e2teauneuf-du-Pape whites are supple, with an exceptional aromatic bouquet thanks to the four grape varieties that make them up: Grenache blanc, Clairette, Roussanne and Bourboulenc.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Presentation of the estate's vintages<\/h2>\n<p>Most of these wines are in stock on our site. We are fortunate to have allocations every year from the estate.

This way, you'll be the first to know when\u00a0<strong>wine arrivals from Ch\u00e2teau Cabri\u00e8res<\/strong>. Here are the finest vintages:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3>Ch\u00e2teauneuf du Pape Tradition rouge - Ch\u00e2teau Cabri\u00e8res :<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A blend of 50% Grenache, 20% Syrah, 20% Mourv\u00e8dre and 10% Cinsault, this top-of-the-range cuv\u00e9e underwent 4 weeks of alcoholic fermentation before maceration and a year's barrel ageing. Its ruby-red color opens with deep notes of red fruits and spices. On the palate, the tannins are round and pleasant, with the same tonalities as on the nose, but with more pronounced spicy notes. Ideal with red meats or game. The Ch\u00e2teauneuf du Pape, from the lieu-dit Cabri\u00e8res, is composed of 50 % each of Grenache, Mourv\u00e8dre and Syrah, and 10 % of Cinsault, aged in various containers. It has a lot to offer: notes of vanilla and cedar, mint and ripe cherries, a full-bodied palate and creamy texture, and a long finish. But all these elements are somewhat jumbled at the moment, and where it's all going is not entirely clear.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.comptoirdesmillesimes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/251296_2016_cabrieres_tradition_chateauneuf_du_pape.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7140\" src=\"https:\/\/www.comptoirdesmillesimes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/251296_2016_cabrieres_tradition_chateauneuf_du_pape-690x186.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"108\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.comptoirdesmillesimes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/251296_2016_cabrieres_tradition_chateauneuf_du_pape-690x186.png 690w, https:\/\/www.comptoirdesmillesimes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/251296_2016_cabrieres_tradition_chateauneuf_du_pape-840x227.png 840w, https:\/\/www.comptoirdesmillesimes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/251296_2016_cabrieres_tradition_chateauneuf_du_pape-768x207.png 768w, https:\/\/www.comptoirdesmillesimes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/251296_2016_cabrieres_tradition_chateauneuf_du_pape.png 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3>Ch\u00e2teauneuf du Pape blanc - Confidential - Ch\u00e2teau Cabri\u00e8res :<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Next to the superb reds from this estate, the Ch\u00e2teauneuf du Pape Blanc is rounder and more direct, with some earthy and mineral characteristics, as well as medium body, good acidity and lots of apple and orchard fruit.
