Description
The Legend of the Fiole bottle dates back to 1952 and a meeting between a Châteauneuf du Pape wine producer, BROTTE, and a renowned glass artist from the region.
Together they came up with a bottle with a twisted shape, reminiscent of the old Grenache vines bent by the Mistral. Much more than just a bottle, it became the perfect container for a Châteauneuf du Pape fine wine.
In a nod to his wife, Charles BROTTE, then a young wine négociant, named this wine after his father-in-law’s father, “Le Père Anselme”, a kindly and well-loved figure in the village.
With its distinctive shape, La Fiole became an icon now found in over 120 countries around the world.

Terroirs of the Fiole du Pape, in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, are diverse and allow us to create complex and well-balanced blends:
Sands provide finesse and fresh fruit aromas
Limestones offer minerality and freshness
Safres bring roundness, substance and a black fruit aromatic character
Pebbles, over clay and sand, bring breadth, length and structure
Fruity and spicy bouquet with notes of blackcurrant and prune. Initially fresh and full, supple and fruity with dominant notes of small black fruits and liquorice. A long and pleasant finish.

Fresh nose of lemon zest, chopped apple and a hint of tarragon. Very clean and lively for a dry white with 14% alcohol. This is a bit simple, but very well made. Sustainable. Drink now.

Whiffs of raspberry preserves introduce this bright, boldly fruity red. A rich, warming sip with penetrating black-fruit flavors, it’s structured by crisp acidity and a bitter espresso-powder edge. Best enjoyed young.
