An appellation of excellence

Composition of the terroir 

The Côtes du Rhône vineyards draw their identity from a terroir as rich as it is contrasting. Time sculpts the terroir of Vaison Ventoux Provence… Here, the vines take root in stony, argilo-calcareous and sablo-calcareous soils, evidence of a long geological history shaped by earth movements and successive deposits.

There is a mosaic of textures between sand, marl, sandstone, conglomerates…. This diversity provides the vines with natural drainage, good thermal regulation and a mineral complexity that is found in every glass.

This demanding soil, combined with a sunny climate cradled by the Mistral offers a typical appellation, with character and deep roots where each plot tells a story, a relief, an expression…

A sensory journey 

In Vaison Ventoux Provence, tasting Côtes du Rhône wines takes on a whole new dimension. Each glass reflects the richness of the local terroir:

  • warm reds, with aromas of ripe red fruit, sweet spices and garrigue.
  • lively, mouth-watering rosés, with their luminous colour, perfect for convivial moments.
  • and expressive whites, combining freshness, roundness and floral or mineral notes depending on the soil.

The wines are balanced, dense and always marked by a beautiful freshness, a reflection of these luminous and lively soils. The main grape varieties of this appellation including grenache, syrah, mourvèdre or cinsault for the reds and viognier, marsanne and roussanne for the whites offer aromatic palettes with harmonious, emblematic flavours!

Wine: a sign of sharing

Here, tastings are experienced not just in a glass, but in a space for meeting and sharing. At winemakers’ homes, in cellars and estates, in village squares or at events, you discover the wines in their natural element, with the breath of the Mistral and the accent of the terroir as a backdrop.
