Châteauneuf-du-Pape AOC
Châteauneuf-du-Pape is a French wine ''Appellation d'origine contrôlée'' (AOC) located around the village of Châteauneuf-du-Pape in the Rhône wine region in southeastern France. It is one of the most renowned appellations of the southern part of the Rhône Valley. Vineyards are located around Châteauneuf-du-Pape and in the neighboring villages Bédarrides, Courthézon and Sorgues between Avignon and Orange and cover slightly more than 3,200 hectares or . Over 110,000 hectolitres of wine a year are produced here.〔 More wine is made in this one area of southern Rhône than in the entirety of the northern Rhône region.〔K.

==History==
(詳細はPope Clement V, former Archbishop of Bordeaux, relocated the papacy to the town of Avignon. Clement V and subsequent "Avignon Popes" were said to be great lovers of Burgundy wines and did much to promote it during the seventy-year duration of the Avignon Papacy. At the time, wine-growing around the town of Avignon was anything but illustrious. While the Avignon Papacy did much to advance the reputation of Burgundy wines, they were also promoting viticulture of the surrounding area, more specifically the area north of Avignon close to the banks of the Rhône. Prior to the Avignon Papacy, viticulture of that area had been initiated and maintained by the Bishops of Avignon, largely for local consumption.
Clement V was succeeded by John XXII who, as well as Burgundy wine, regularly drank the wines from the vineyards to the north and did much to improve viticultural practices there. Under John XXII, the wines of this area came to be known as "Vin du Pape", this term later to become Châteauneuf-du-Pape. John XXII is also responsible for erecting the famous castle which stands as a symbol for the appellation.
In the 18th century, the wines were shipped under the name ''vin d'Avignon''. Records from the early 19th century mention wines of the name ''Châteauneuf-du-Pape-Calcernier'' which seems to have been a lighter-style wine than the Châteauneuf-du-Pape of today. They seem to have increased in reputation within France until phylloxera hit in the early 1870s, which was earlier than most other French wine regions were affected.〔Jancis Robinson (Ed.), ''The Oxford Companion to Wine'', 3. Ed., Oxford University Press, 2006, ISBN 0-19-860990-6, pp. 159-160〕 Prior to World War I the bulk of Châteauneuf-du-Pape was sold to Burgundy as ''vin de médecine'' to be added to Burgundy wine to boost the strength and alcohol levels.〔
