Anne-Charlotte Mélia Bachas likes to claim that she was born under a foudre (a large wine cask). The Melia family acquired Chateau de la Font, du Loup (the fountain of the wolf) in 1942, is the name of a natural spring in the center of the estate, and legend held that wolves from Mount Ventoux would stop to drink from the spring. Today Anne Charlotte the grand-daughter of the founder and her husband oversee the estate and the winemaking. The estate is within the commune of Courthezon and part of the legendary Chateauneuf-du-Pape, or the “the Pope’s new castle;” when Pope Clement V moved his papacy to Avignon in 1308. In 1936 Chateauneuf-du-Pape was the first AOC in the Rhone, as well as one of the first in France. A unique wine that can be made using up to thirteen grape varieties, though the main grape is Grenache, followed by Syrah, Mourvedre, and Cinsaut.
