Domaine du Grapillon d'Or

The Domaine du Grapillon d'or was built in 1806 although the Chauvet family had been present in Gigondas, in the heart of Provence since 1630. Since that date, numerous developments have been carried out by successive generations. 30 years ago, Celine, the 9th generation, joined her father at the estate to take charge of the winemaking and management. The 14-hectare vineyard in Gigondas, which is mainly located on the hillsides, is mainly composed of Grenache and Syrah.

Southern Rhone

The Southern Rhône, a renowned wine region in southeastern France, is celebrated for its diverse and robust wines. Benefiting from a Mediterranean climate with hot summers and mild winters, it is ideal for viticulture. The Southern Rhône is famous for its blends, particularly from Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre, producing rich, full-bodied reds with complex flavours of dark fruit, spices, and herbs. Châteauneuf-du-Pape is the most prestigious appellation, known for its powerful and age-worthy wines. It also excels in producing aromatic whites and refreshing rosés. With its varied terroir and traditional winemaking techniques, the Southern Rhône offers a captivating wine experience for enthusiasts seeking high-quality and flavourful wines.
