Clos des Papes is one of Rhone Valley’s most venerable estates. The family has been making Chateauneuf-du-Pape for 300 years. The original vineyard was part of the papal estate inside a chateau.

Perrier-Jouet, in the heart of Champagne, was founded in 1811 by Pierre-Nicolas-Marie Perrier-Jouet. One of Perrier-Jouet’s distinctive features is its Art Nouveau-influenced label, which is still used for the estate’s most prestigious cuvées.

Produttori del Barbaresco is a cooperative founded in 1958 to help grape growers promote their wines. Today each family in the coop grows grapes but the award-winning wines are made at a central winery. They are gold standards for the appellation.
