Chateau Cabrieres Cotes du Rhone Vieilles Vignes

Profile & Story

Chateau Cabrieres is a historic estate on the Chateauneuf-du-Pape plateau, owned by the Arnaud family for three generations and managed since 2009 by Agnes Arnaud and her husband Patrick Vernier. This Cotes du Rhone Vieilles Vignes is an equal blend of Grenache and Syrah from old vines on clay-limestone soil with characteristic galets (pebbles), from a small 1.53-hectare parcel near the Chateauneuf-du-Pape appellation edge. (The venue's menu also lists "RD68" alongside "Vieilles Vignes" - RD68 is the road the estate sits on and is also the name of a separate 100% Syrah IGP Vaucluse bottling from the same chateau; the bottle image and blend details here match the Cotes du Rhone Vieilles Vignes label specifically, confirmed via product photo.)
