Vineyard
Located in the South-East of France, the Southern part of the Rhône Valley hosts various
well-known appellations including the AOC Côtes-du-Rhône.
This valley offers the benefits from the Mediterranean climate: hot and very sunny days
regularly lulled by the mistral. Summers are hot and dry, winters are mild, and rainfall is
low.
The Côtes-du-Rhône vineyard extends over terraces, alluvial plains or on the hills slopes.
The great soils diversity (limestone, clay, rolled pebbles, granite, etc.) associated with the
hills’ slope allows the vines to have a regular water supply but also to return, during the
night, the daily stored heat in the pebbles
