About this producer:

The Domaine Juliette Avril’s roots run long and deep.

As First Consuls of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, the Avril family has cultivated centuries of winegrowing and Provençal tradition. A century after Frédéric Mistral, our ancestor, Jules Avril, was awarded the “Golden Cicada”, symbol of the prestigious title of “Majoral du Félibrige”, the Academy of the Provençal language…
As early as 1928, before the Appellation of Controlled Origin (A.O.C.) was officially introduced, Juliette Avril’s father, Jean Avril, along with other local notable figures, participated in establishing fundamental rules for developing Châteauneuf-du-Pape wine.

Marie Brun took over the estate in 1988, succeeding her mother Juliette Avril & was joined by her son Stephan in 2000. Dedicated and devoted to producing great wines, they also have great respect for the environment & practice the highest levels of la lutte raisonnée. Quality terroir, low yield with careful maintenance, allows them to make beautiful Châteauneuf even in less than stellar years.
