History & Geography
Our winegrowing heritage has its roots in the heart of the Rhone Valley, in the picture-perfect setting of the Dentelles de Montmirail mountains. This unique terroir owes its emergence to a distinctive geological formation: a cold volcano, whereby Triassic salts and gypsum several kilometres below the surface were thrust upwards as a result of pressure from the so-called ‘Nîmes’ fault. A combination of limestone and marl from the Jurassic and Cretaceous eras and sand and sandstone from the Tertiary Era, the Dentelles rose up due to plate tectonics 60 million years ago, when dinosaurs still roamed the Earth.
