Cobbled Together: Exploring the Artistry of Vinography Images Chris Lehoux, November 9, 2024 The winter season reveals stunning views in the Châteauneuf-du-Pape region of France’s Rhône Valley. With the vines stripped bare, their gnarled forms contrast beautifully against the remarkable landscape of cobbled stones known as galets roulés. This stony terrain is one of the most notable soil types of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, characterized by its almost barren appearance, which offers a unique and striking aesthetic. The juxtaposition of the twisted vines and the intricate patterns of the stones creates a picturesque scene that highlights the beauty of this famed wine region even during the colder months. The scenery serves as a reminder of both the harsh conditions and the resilience of the vines that thrive in this environment, ultimately contributing to the region’s celebrated viticulture.
