An absolute standout, Vaudieu is one of the crown jewel vineyards of Chateauneuf du Pape. The name Vaudieu is a shortening of French for “Valley of God” – a nod to the longstanding agricultural fertility of the region. Located about a five minute drive outside the village of Chateauneuf-du-Pape along the road which leads to Courthezon you will find Chateau de Vaudieu. It is one of three 18th century Chateaux located in the appellation, tucked into a small valley surrounded by hills and plateau. The estate has had a great reputation starting in the 19^th century exporting wines all over Europe. They have a great and diverse terroir enabling them to blend the perfect wine. Their vineyard neighbors the superb Chateau Rayas and they have enlisted the great Phillipe Cambie ( Robert Parker’s Winemaker of the year in 2010) to assist with winemaking.
