SOME OF OUR VINEYARDS!
Domaine de Gadagne en Azurions
Name of our wines: Gadagne en Azurions
Grapes varieties: Syrah, Grenache, Mourvèdre.
Situation: The southern Rhône sub-region has a Mediterranean climate with mild winters and hot summers. The Terroir, together with the rugged landscape which partly protects the valleys from the Mistral produces a microclimate. It gives birth to a special wine. The “Domaine” is situated at the East of Avignon city on a plateau overlooking the Rhône valley close to Châteauneuf du Pape. It gets a maximal sunshine and is made up of rolled shingles. Its soil has an earliness flavour which allows an optimal maturity of the grapes (same soil than Châteauneuf du Pape vineyards).
Comments from the winemaker: I strive to make wines both stylish and well balanced, wines that are inviting on nose and gratifying on palate but mainly wines that are seductive in their youth and have the potential of long term ageing. My ultimate goal is to make wines that are expressive of the variety, elegant in style and of unquestionable quality and structure, which can compete with any other top wine, anywhere.

Comments from the winemaker: I wish to create wines, giving the wine lover an experience of our passion, tradition and perfection that goes into each bottle!

Comments from the winemaker: My goal is to produce wines as natural as the grapes I was given by Nature. In order to capture all the flavors of the variety and terroir in the wines, it is all year job. We start with the grapes to end with the wine. I hope my wine can be enjoyed by anyone. Our vineyard is in our family for 400 years now, we know what can come out from our grapes…
Domaine La Croix des Loges
Name of our wines: Anjou, Côteaux Du Layon,…
Grapes varieties: Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Chenin
Situation: The
Comments from the winemaker: I believe in making wines that express the intrinsic characteristics of the grapes. This will vary from area to area and is therefore unique to a farm and even to a specific block within a farm's vineyards. This also means that I don't believe in trying to emulate any other winery. We must make wines that express our Terroir and thereby create our own individuality. Suffice it to say that my philosophy is based on passion, seriousness and humility. |
