The idea is to have a wine made with grapes coming from all the different soils type found in Châteauneuf. As a matter of fact, soil and subsoil can be very different.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo generalize, one can say there is limestone soil in the (rocky) western part of Châteauneuf-du-Pape; sand and clay soil covered with large stones on the plateaus; mixed sand, red and grey clay, and limestone in the northern part of the appellation; less stony soil alternating with marl in the east; and shallow sand and clay soil on a well-drained layer of gravel in the south. The large pebbles contribute to the quality of the vines and grapes by storing heat during the day and holding water. Our Charles Thomas Châteauneuf-du-Pape is using grapes coming from all these soil types in order to offer a broader approach to what this AOC is all about.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    \u003cspan\u003eGame, duck, guinea fwl, pigeon, osso bucco, eggplant quiche and flavorful cheeses.\u003c\/span\u003e    \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: \" trebuchet ms arial helvetica sans-serif font-size:\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Charles Thomas","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44948940226607,"sku":"F0EE130200RRM","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/4677\/5087\/files\/ctcfplbl2.jpg?v=1771485500","url":"https:\/\/timelesswinesdirect.com\/products\/charles-thomas-chateauneuf-du-pape-rouge-2015","provider":"timelesswines.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
