Le Nez des Papes
Wine cellar: tasting in Châteauneuf-du-Pape

Our
philosophy

Our cellar is located in the heart of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, renowned worldwide for its exceptional wines, just a few steps from the village’s Romanesque church.

We welcome you to our wine cellar and tasting room at 2 rue de l’Église.

Here, we invite you to discover a carefully selected range of wines crafted by passionate winemakers deeply connected to their terroir. Our focus is on these winegrowers, true artisans, who, over the years, have helped build the reputation and prestige of the Châteauneuf-du-Pape AOC.

Wine is born from the meeting of sky, earth, and human hands. It is this human dedication that fascinates us and that we are proud to highlight as ambassadors of their work. We celebrate the men and women who, generation after generation, have contributed to elevating the quality and character of their estates and of the appellation itself.

Through their stories — the small, personal histories — we share with you the greater story of Châteauneuf-du-Pape.

I was born in Avignon, the capital of the Côtes du Rhône, a city also famous for the Palais des Papes. I had the privilege of growing up close to the magnificent vineyards of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, renowned worldwide for the quality of their wines.

When I was a student, I used to take part in the grape harvest there every year. I had the opportunity to work for several renowned estates such as Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe, Domaine du Vieux Donjon, and Domaine Saint Benoît. It was during this time that I truly fell under the spell of the vineyards of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. From that moment on, my passion for wine has continued to grow.

After completing a Master’s degree in Political Science, I spent two years working in Finance in Ireland and four years as Finance Director for an NGO in Paris. After this experience, I decided to take the leap and pursue a career in the wine industry in order to turn my passion into my profession.

My love of travel led me to choose an international school, the Wine & Spirit Education Trust (WSET), a globally recognized institution renowned for the quality of its wine education. I completed Levels 1 and 2 in 2013.

Afterwards, I worked for a well-known estate in the Luberon appellation, Château Val Joanis, as manager of the tasting room and wine tourism activities.

In 2014, I founded my company, “Le Nez des Papes” (Provence and Wine), which organizes wine-related events, including wine tours and tasting experiences. In order to further deepen my knowledge, I also completed Level 3 of the Wine & Spirit Education Trust (WSET) in 2016.

In 2019, I expanded my activity and created a tasting space in a historic cellar in the village of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, where tasting workshops and wine sales are now offered.

It is both a pleasure and a privilege to welcome guests from all over the world to discover the famous vineyards of Châteauneuf-du-Pape AOC and to share with them my knowledge and passion for wine.

In 2023, I obtained the Diploma (Level 4) from the internationally renowned Wine & Spirit Education Trust (WSET), the highest level of certification offered by the institution.

Originaire de la Vallée de la Loire, région renommée pour ses châteaux mais également pour la richesse et la diversité de ses vins, je me suis installée en Provence en 2020. Je suis rapidement tombée sous le charme de cette région solaire, de ses paysages, de son architecture mais aussi, et surtout, de ses vins.

A la suite de mes études de droit en 2017, j'ai choisi de partir à la découverte du monde. Ces voyages m'ont amené à passer 6 mois à Chypre, 3 mois en Amérique du Sud et 1 an en Australie, où j'ai également pu travailler en tant que réceptionniste en hôtellerie. J'ai effectué ce métier pendant quelques années, aussi bien en France qu'à l'étranger. Cette expérience m’a permis d’allier ma passion du voyage à mon goût pour l’accueil et le partage, en offrant à chaque client une expérience mémorable.

En 2023, j’ai décidé de donner une nouvelle orientation à ma carrière en me tournant vers le monde du vin, un univers qui me fascine depuis des années. J’ai alors entrepris une licence professionnelle en Œnotourisme à Saumur, au cours de laquelle j’ai eu la chance d’effectuer mon stage au Musée du Vin de la Maison Brotte à Châteauneuf-du-Pape. C’est à cette occasion que j’ai véritablement découvert ma passion pour le vin, et tout particulièrement pour cette appellation emblématique.

Souhaitant approfondir mes connaissances, j’ai ensuite poursuivi avec un double master en Droit, gestion et commerce des spiritueux et en Commerce international des spiritueux à Cognac, tout en travaillant en alternance dans un domaine viticole à Séguret en tant que commerciale export.

Aujourd’hui, j’ai le plaisir de rejoindre Le Nez des Papes en tant que Responsable œnotourisme et caveau. J’adore créer des moments uniques autour du vin et faire découvrir les trésors de Châteauneuf-du-Pape.

Mon rôle est d’offrir à chaque visiteur une expérience immersive et personnalisée au cœur du vignoble, en valorisant son histoire, ses terroirs et le savoir-faire de ses vignerons.

Partager la passion et l’excellence de cette appellation d’exception représente pour moi un privilège et un engagement quotidien.

Currently training as a sommelier and wine merchant, and I have the opportunity to complete my apprenticeship at Le Nez des Papes cellar, in the heart of Châteauneuf-du-Pape.

Originally from the northern part of the Pays de la Loire region, I have been passionate about wine for as long as I can remember, particularly for the moments of sharing and connection it creates. My journey has always been guided by French gastronomy and its international influence, which naturally led me toward the field of wine export.

For the past two years, I have been living in the south of France after traveling through the Loire Valley, Roussillon, and Languedoc regions to promote the wines of Provence. Today, I aspire to have a more direct connection with wine lovers, curious visitors, and passionate enthusiasts. It was therefore only natural for me to turn to Châteauneuf-du-Pape — an iconic village in the wine world, home to unique estates, all committed to expressing the best of their terroir.

I would be delighted to welcome you to our charming cellar in the heart of the village, to reveal the secrets of the region’s wines, and to share with you a convivial, authentic, and warm moment.
