ABOUT THIS WINE
Jean Vidérue Châteauneuf-du-Pape is a modern expression of the Southern Rhône's most famous appellation, developed by the Swedish importer Urban Wines AB. Sourced from selected vineyards in the northeastern commune of Courthézon, the wine is crafted in partnership with the historic Cellier des Princes cooperative. This collaboration aims to deliver an accessible, high-quality Châteauneuf-du-Pape that highlights the region's signature terroir. The vineyards feature classic sandy-clay soils mixed with alluvial gravels and galets roulés (rounded pebbles), which absorb daytime heat and radiate it back to the vines at night. The 2024 vintage was characterized by a challenging spring with low yields, which ultimately resulted in exceptional fruit concentration and a remarkably fresh, elegant profile.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Jean Vidérue focuses on preserving the pure, primary fruit characteristics of the Grenache grape. Grapes are 100% hand-harvested at optimal phenolic ripeness. Fermentation takes place under strict temperature control at 28°C to 30°C, extending over four to five weeks to ensure deep color extraction and structured tannins. Uniquely for Châteauneuf-du-Pape, which often undergoes extensive oak aging, this wine is aged entirely in concrete tanks for up to one year before bottling. This deliberate choice avoids any oak influence, allowing the natural peppery, herbal, and brambly qualities of the blend to shine through with clarity and freshness.
