Domaine du Bois de Saint Jean Chateauneuf du Pape
- Description
All the richness of Rhône Valley wines
It is in the heart of Jonquerettes, the smallest village in Vaucluse, a few kilometers from Avignon, that the Domaine du Bois de Saint Jean brings to life the heritage of the Anglès family, established since 1620. Vincent and Xavier Anglès have stood out since more than 30 years making iconic Rhône Valley wines of remarkable consistency.
Two brothers, two characters and two key words "Patience, Passion".
Vincent and Xavier created their wine estate in 1984. Eager to develop their own wines and express their know-how, the two brothers quickly established themselves as essential winemakers in Vaucluse. Proud of their origin and traditions, they never stop paying homage to Provence.
Their wines are in their image, powerful, solar but at the same time fine and delicate. A true ode to the Rhône Valley, the Domaine du Bois de Saint Jean now has more than 50 hectares of vines, including 21 hectares of Côtes du Rhône Villages Gadagne, 20 hectares of Côtes du Rhône, 4.5 hectares of Vacqueyras and 0.5 hectare of Châteauneuf-du-Pape.
The terroir of the AOC Châteauneuf-du-Pape extends over the municipalities of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Bédarrides, Courthézon, Orange and Sorgues. Made up mainly of rolled pebbles, stamps of the terroir of the appellation, the vineyard benefits from a restitution of the heat stored during the day which favors the ripening of the bunches of grapes.
