Exploring Vinography Images: The Majesty of La Crau’s Crown Chris Lehoux, January 10, 2026 Perhaps the most renowned vineyard site in Châteauneuf-du-Pape is the plateau known as La Crau. This elevated area features large river cobbles, referred to as galets roulées, along with sprawling hectares of gnarled old vines and a few majestic trees. As the evening light falls on the vines, the distant snow-covered Monts de Vaucluse, including Mont Ventoux, can be seen in the background. La Crau offers a unique wine-growing environment where the interplay of climate, soil, and traditional viticulture creates a captivating landscape. The combination of the river stones, the age of the vines, and the grand scenery contributes to the rich character of the wines produced here, making it a significant location for wine enthusiasts.
