From Avignon to the Drôme Provençale, the Southern Rhône Valley is home to some of the most beautiful villages in France. Each one boasts its own character, history, and terroir—unique and irreplaceable. Visan, Séguret, Vaison-la-Romaine... names that evoke a journey through time and landscape, inviting discovery of true hidden gems.

Presentation
Still standing after more than 2,000 years, the bridge at Vaison-la-Romaine is the village’s pride and joy. The architectural balance, the monument's strength in the face of the elements and its longevity are like the wines: intense and long. Their freshness rivals that of the Ouvèze which runs down there and comforts visitors with its rattling so harmless in appearance. Let’s be wary of this “Roman” cuvée and its all-hidden power.
The vintage
2023 was a year full of contrasts: warm temperatures at the end of December and beginning of January raised concerns about early budding; a return to normalcy continued until February with relatively cool weather; a persistent drought accompanied by a strong Mistral wind, followed by regular rainfall until the end of June. Thanks to constant vigilance in the vineyards, the berries were healthy and well-ripened when harvest started, promising one of the finest vintages of the past decade.
