        Producer Information

        Maison Brotte is a wine company based in Chteauneuf-du-Pape. It produces wine under multiple brands from numerous appellations, mostly in the Rhne, but is most famous for its La Fiole du Pape wine, a multi-vintage wine from Chteauneuf-du-Pape. The company was founded in 1931 when Charles Brotte moved to the famous village and set up its first bottling line. In 1952, Maison Brotte introduced La Fiole du Pape, featuring a distinctive twisted bottle intended to represent the old, twisted bush vines of the region. Brotte believed the blending techniques used in Champagne could be emulated in Chteauneuf-du-Pape to make a wine that was consistent every year. Maison Brotte consists of four estates, three of which are in the southern Rhne. Domaine Barville is the family estate in Chteauneuf, with 16 hectares (40 acres) of vines in seven parcels. It is the company’s headquarters and also the location of the Brotte wine museum. The holdings also include Domaine Grosset, a 10-hectare (25-acre) estate in Cairanne owned by Alain Grosset, who is connected to the Brotte family by marriage. Chteau du Bord, purchased by the Brotte family in 1991, has 22 hectares (54 acres) of terraced vineyards producing Ctes-du-Rhne Villages Laudun, plus a tiny plot in Chteauneuf-du-Pape. In the Gard region of the Languedoc, Domaine de l’Aube exclusively grows Viognier for the Baies Dores IGP Pays d’Oc release. As well as estate-grown wines, Maison Brotte collaborates with other growers to produce wines from other appellations, including Condrieu, Cte Rtie, Gigondas and Ctes de Provence.
