The Key of Saint Thomas, the other family estate in Châteauneuf-du-Pape.
Acquired in 2006 by Philippe Kessler, today it is his wife, Sophie Kessler-Matière, who manages this 12-hectare estate, planted in several plots around the village of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre for reds, Clairette, Roussanne, Bourboulenc, and Grenache for whites flourish on these parcels, constituting a "patchwork" of terroirs: - to the south, the rolled pebbles of Les Serres where old Grenaches express themselves - to the north, Les Charbonnières on clay sands, where the white varietals and Syrah assert their fruitiness - to the west, on sandstone terroirs for a very "Châteauneuf" typicity. The grapes, harvested manually in mid-September, are vinified in the cellars located on the estate in the heart of the village.
