If you are interested by a wine/food pair experience, let me take you to "Le caveau des gourmets". Lunch is not included in the price. A formula that allows the choice to taste the neighbouring designations wines or appreciate the agreements of original savoury "verrines"according the market. A little stroll in the village of Séguret Ranked as "one of the most beautiful villages in France", Séguret looks like a living crèche scene. Traditional Provençal crèches represent villages peopled with small clay figures called santons. During the Christmas season, each family sets up its own crèche scene, and most villages show crèches in their churches. After, let me take you to Châteauneuf-du-Pape, a medieval village on the side of a hill, guarded by the ruins of an ancient chateau towering above. A literal translation of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, "the Pope’s new house", is actually true. From the chateau hill you have an outstanding view in all directions, mostly of vineyards, of course. Off to the east and south,the Rhône winds across the fields, and the afternoon sun turns it silver.  The stones act as a storage heater, soaking up the Provencal sunshine during the day, and releasing the heat into the night, long after sunset. Grand Cru of Châteauneuf du Pape By the judicious blending of the thirteen grape varieties that are grown at Château Mont-Redon we endeavour to produce wines that combine complexity with ripe fruit and soft tannins. The first vines found at Mont-Redon date back to Roman times. They were planted at the bottom of the hill, sheltered from the Mistral wind, that gave its name to the Mont-Redon property. (In Latin, montem retundum means “round hill”.) In 1344, “Mourredon”, part of the Pope’s land holdings, was officially recognised as a vineyard. Last stop at The Chocolate factory "Castelain" In a permanent concern(marigold) of quality and originality of its products, Castelain chocolate factory elaborates its offer(supply) within the framework of the most rigorous labels. Our production draws its originality from our Provençal roots without ever taking in defect the quality. |
