Le Pere Anselme
Much More than just a bottle, it became the perfect container for a Chateauneuf du Pape fine wine. In a nod to his wife, Charles Brotte, then a young wine negociant, named this wine after he father-in-law's father, "Le Pere Anselme", a kind 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.
The Art of Blending
Like a perfumer in front of his or her perfume organ, the art of blending wines is without question an exercise that requires discipline, experience and know-how. With wines from different terroirs, plots, years and winemaking styles, it takes time to recreate the taste markers thathave contributed to the legend of the La Fiole wines. We build the foundations for the blend first through the selectionof particular plots, those with the best exposure and corresponding to the style of wine being sought.Then, with gentleness and respect for the grapes, we begin the vinification and ageing processes, which will also influenceeach wine that will compose the final symphony. Tasting, adjusting and ageing are all tools that allow us to perpetuatethe unique and consistent taste of the Fiole du Pape over the decades. Thanks to this experience in selection and blending,the Fiole Côtes du Rhône and Fiole Réserve are part of a process of excellence that includes a careful selection of terroirsand villages.This know-how is now being passed on to the younger generations, under the kindly and instructive eye of Christine,who was herself trained in this art by the previous generation.
The Icon
La Fiole du Pape is a a blend of blended with 40% of reserve wines aged for more than 5 years. The iconic bottle "La Fiole" resembles the image of vines bent by the Mistral wind.
