Chateauneuf-Du-Pape is a renowned wine region in the southern Rhone Valley of France, famous for its powerful and age-worthy wines. But did you know that the history of this appellation is firmly entwined with papal history?

Chateauneuf-Du-Pape是法國南隆河谷著名的葡萄酒產區，以其豐富濃郁和可陳年的葡萄酒而聞名。但你又知不知道這個地區的歷史與教皇的歷史緊密相連嗎？

In 1309, Pope Clement V, former Archbishop of Bordeaux, relocated the papacy to the town of Avignon. At the time, wine-growing around the town of Avignon was anything but illustrious. However, the Avignon Papacy did much to advance the reputation of Burgundy wines and promoted viticulture of the surrounding area, which had been initiated and maintained by the Bishops of Avignon.

1309年，前波爾多大主教克萊孟五世將教皇辦公室遷往阿維尼翁市。當時，阿維尼翁市周圍的葡萄種植並不出色。不過，阿維尼翁教皇為提高勃艮第葡萄酒的聲譽做出了很多貢獻，並推廣周圍地區的葡萄種植，這些地區的種植由阿維尼翁的主教們發起和維護。

Chateauneuf-Du-Pape, which literally translates to "The Pope's new castle," was one of the areas that benefited from this promotion of viticulture. Today, it is one of the most important wine regions in France, with over 3,200 hectares of vineyards.

Chateauneuf-Du-Pape直譯為“教皇的新城堡”，是從這場推廣中受益的地區之一。如今，它是法國最重要的葡萄酒產區之一，擁有超過3200公頃的葡萄園。

One of the most well-known wineries in Chateauneuf-Du-Pape is Maison Brotte, founded in 1931 by M. Charles Brotte, one of the pioneers of bottling in the Southern Rhone Valley and inventor of the famous "La Fiole du Pape."

Chateauneuf-Du-Pape最著名的酒莊之一是Maison Brotte，由M. Charles Brotte於1931年創立。他是南隆河谷瓶裝酒的先驅之一，也是著名的 “La Fiole du Pape” 的發明者。

The winery is known for its use of Grenache, the king of the region, which flourishes and expresses all of its fruit in Chateauneuf-Du-Pape. The addition of Syrah and Mourvedre in their red blends adds freshness and structure.
