Châteauneuf-du-Pape
The planting of vines in Châteauneuf-du-Pape dates back to Roman times. In those days, this place was called Châteauneuf. The pope's suffix was added after the pope's trip to Avignon following his conflict with the king of France in 1309. 8 Popes then stayed in this commune and planted vines there. The region was not officially called "Châteauneuf-du-Pape" until 1893 while the institution of this 1st French wine AOC dates from 1937.
