Pauline and Jules Autard, now alongside their father Jean-Paul, are the^fifth generation of this family of winegrowers whose estate, located between Courthézon and Châteauneuf-du-Pape, has been recognized and awarded for several years for its white and red wines. Of the 30 hectares of hand-harvested vineyards, about ten are in the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation, the rest are in Côtes du Rhône and Vin de Pays de Méditerranée. From the tasting room, you can see the barrels lined up under the low vaults of a superb cellar.

In 1898, Alfred Jamet, winemaker and blacksmith, became owner of the Clos Val'Ouri estate and acquired a few parcels of vines in the Châteauneuf-du-Pape area. He quickly realized the richness of the terroir he had just acquired. Today, the torch is passed on to Eric and his daughter Léa, who wish to perpetuate the family values. They manage the land, and have also created the Caves Jamet Le Sang du Peuple denomination, a must-have cuvée.

Its Réserve des Cieux 2016, a red Châteauneuf du Pape, won^1st place in the blind tasting of the world's best sommelier 2007, Andréas Larsson. Nathalie Reynaud has had the wind in her sails since she took over the reins of the family estate in 2010. Dynamic and enthusiastic, Nathalie never ceases to enhance her 18 hectares of vines at Chateauneuf-du-Pape. Harvesting is manual and pressing is done on the spot. The Abbé Dine is available in red and white in Chateauneuf du Pape and Côtes du Rhône, also a rosé in vin de pays.

Courthézon is a town in the Vaucluse department in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region.

The history of this estate is quite picturesque. In the ^19th century, it was a hunting reserve. It was then that an engineer and friend of Ferdinand de Lesseps, who designed the Suez Canal, constructed this enormous building to supply the town of Courthézon with water. And he didn't stop there, building an underground cellar. And the Clos du Caillou was born. Today, the 17-hectare estate is farmed organically. It produces Côtes du Rhône and Châteauneuf du Pape wines. We like the "Les Quartz" cuvée for its value for money.

The estate located in the most beautiful appellations of the southern part of the Rhone Valley has been in the hands of the Perrin family for 5 generations. They have a passion for this terroir which extends over a hundred hectares, 3/4 of which are located in the AOC Châteauneuf-du-pape. The vines are cultivated with respect for the environment, the harvest is manual and only the best bunches of grapes are kept. The precious nectars are then matured in oak tuns. Stop for a tasting!
