The region’s “galets roulés,” or large quartz river stones, are common in Châteauneuf’s finest vineyards. Left behind in the former path of the Rhone River, these stones absorb heat during the day and release it slowly in the evenings, resulting in perfectly ripe grapes that create a structured, mineral-rich wine.
