A multifaceted wine destination
The territories that make up this destination share a fresh land nestled in the foothills of the Alps—warmed by the southern sun, yet each harboring unique surprises that set them apart.
The Grignan-les-Adhémar vineyards draw their finesse and freshness from the Crus of the northern Côtes du Rhône, while also capturing the luscious, ripe-fruit character typical of the appellations in the southern Rhône Valley. The destination also encompasses the Enclave des Papes—a land of vineyards and black truffles. Finally, toward the Baronnies Provençales Regional Natural Park, one can discover further styles of wine, alongside centuries-old olive trees.
