From Avignon to the ‘Drôme Provençale’ area, the Southern Rhône Valley shelters some of the most beautiful villages in France. Each has its own personality, its history, its ‘terroir’ and no one can replace the other: Visan, Séguret, Vaison-la Romaine … all these names sound like an invitation to travel & discover real jewels.

Visan is a charming typical Provençal villagewith a rich history going back to the Roman era. From the surrounding hills to the plain, the vineyard draws its character from stony soils combined with marls and sands. On this “northern” terroir, Grenache, Mourvèdre & Syrah produce a very elegant and well-balanced red wine, while Clairette, Grenache & Viognier deliver a delicate and smooth white wine, with citrus and apricot notes.
