Situated in the southern part of the Rhône Valley, discover a massif carved by time, rich with hillside villages, breathtaking views and vineyards.
This small mountain range is home to numerous wine-growing and typically Provençal villages with exceptional flora and fauna that are not to be missed, as well as renowned appellations such as Vacqueyras, Gigondas or Beaumes de Venise and its sweet wine: Muscat. Take your time to discover the vineyards, which often have signposted trails, and enjoy some exceptional walks.
The estate is one of the oldest in Gigondas and one of the most emblematic. Every year, the estate receives an award from the Parker Guide (94/100). Wine Spectator magazine ranked the 2017 vintage of Grande Romane among the 25 best wines in the world.
Today, Pierre and his family are continuing this work to promote the Gigondas terroir. They welcome you to a tasting of the great Gigondas terroirs.
The Vignoble Alain Ignace estate is located in the Vaucluse department, on the sunshine route of the Rhône Valley.
Alain, a native of Beaumes-de-Venise, has passed on a large part of his vineyards to his daughter Patricia since retiring, but he also cultivates a few plots for pleasure.
So this is a small estate, which means he can be present at all the stages involved in making a good wine.
Every effort is made to respect the soil.
No insecticides or herbicides are used.
The fauna and flora are rich and diverse, guaranteeing a living soil.
Come and share his passion and his knowledge about wines, through get-togethers based on exchange and conviviality.
Wine is the most faithful reflection of the terroir and the winemaker's know-how.
The young chef Cyril GLEMOT offers creative gastronomic cuisine in a former wine estate, in a sea of vines at the crossroads of the Rhône Valley appellations: Cairanne, Rasteau, Gigondas, Plan de Dieu, etc.
This is one of the most promising young chefs in the Vaucluse department. The restaurant has a high standard of quality but is too young to be recognised by the Michelin guide.
In 2010, after working as a chef in Gigondas for 6 years, he transformed this winegrower's house into a restaurant-cellar.
Montpellier has been renowned for its faculty of medicine since the 14th century. This tradition of science has continued until today. It is here that the most brilliant researchers invented viticulture and modern oenology. Around the School of Agriculture, Montpellier has built up over time the largest center of wine research in the world. The terroirs of Grès de Montpellier, Saint Georges d'Orques, Saint Drézéry and Méjanelle are among the oldest in Languedoc. Over the centuries, the rich aristocrats and doctors of Montpellier have built superb wine castles on these terroirs. They called them their folies (that meands in french crazy, you should understand why when you visit it).
Galus is the Latin word for cock and is thought to have given Gaillac its name. The second hypothesis would be its ancient Gallo-Roman name Galhac, meaning fertile. Secret and majestic, fragile and powerful, authentic and contemporary, this land cultivates nuances... and loves to share them with visitors. Epicurean souls will feel the charm of a holiday in this "little Tuscany" of the Tarn, where you let yourself be carried away by the senses. A sunset over the rolling vineyards, a glass of Gaillac wine and... time stands still. You'll feel great!
The winegrowers of Gaillac have worked hard to rediscover the historic grape varieties of the appellation. Discover Braucol, Loin de l'Oeil, Duras and Mauzac, grape varieties that deserve to be tasted.
