Appellations, the designations of the origin of the wine

IGP Alpilles		IGP Alpilles is a wine appellation whose wines are produced in the vineyard of Provence-Corse, a vineyard in southeastern France and in the wine region of Provence. The terroir benefits from a Provencal Mediterranean climate and limestone, shale, granite, phyllade, sandstone, marl and alluvial sand. IGP Alpilles has the European IGP (Protected Geographical Indication) label. The IGP label is the label that has replaced the VDP label (Vin De Pays) since 2009.
AOP Costières de Nîmes		AOP Costières de Nîmes, this wine region is located on the right bank of the Rhone on the hills of 24 municipalities. The vineyard covers an area of 12,000 hectares and is approximately 60 kilometers long and 20 kilometers wide. The Appellation Costières de Nîmes is one of the vineyards of the Rhône Valley. In the past, however, this AOC was classified with the Languedoc. To emphasize its identity, the Costières area has asked the well-known French designer Philippe Starck to shape their wine bottles. This bottle, called the Nîmoise, has the logo of Costières de Nîmes and the logo of the city of Nîmes (a crocodile at the foot of a palm tree) engraved.

Vin de France		Vin de France is a table wine designation from France that has been in use since 2010. Vin de France wines may indicate the grape variety (e.g. Chardonnay or Merlot) on the label, but are not labeled by region or denomination; they are only labeled as coming from France. This means that the wines are usually sold under brand names or as branded varietal wines.

Red Châteauneuf-du-Pape can be made from multiple grape varieties (13 in total). Grenache dominates, delivering a blend of finesse and power, which is the sign of great wines. For the record, the village became the summer residence of the papacy under Clement V in 1314, it is his successor John XXII who gives access to the wine produced to the appellation of "Vin du Pape".
