Other Notes

The tiny appellation of Palette, one of France's oldest, having been established in 1948, covers just 23 ha. Seventeen of these are Chateau Simone, and much of the rest is pine forest with no likelihood of any deforestation in the near future. The sole estate in the appellation was planted in the 16th Century by the Carmelite sisters, who also excavated the cellars. The property took on the name Simone from a later owner, but since the 17th Century has been home to the Rougier family. Currently in charge are René and Jean-Francois, the seventh and eighth generations of this dynasty.
