Why is Châteauneuf-du-Pape so expensive?
Why is Châteauneuf-du-Pape so expensive?
Aside from the quality and famous history of bottles from this area, the main reason that Châteauneuf-du-Pape is so expensive is due to the limited production of their premium wines. As the wineries only produce a small number of special bottles, particularly towards the end of the 20th Century, these can fetch a high price. Lastly, unlike many wines, those from this area are very well-suited to aging, making them much in demand from collectors. So be sure to pick up a bottle or two on your Châteauneuf-du-Pape tour! There’s plenty of room in Blacklane’s fleet of limos for storing your purchases.
