Appellation AOP Côtes du Rhône : The history of Laudun stretches back to Roman times, as evidenced by the Camp de César, a major archaeological site lying on a vast fortified plateau. Historians believe that vines were first planted on the Laudun hillsides around this time. The wines of Laudun grew in popularity, particularly in the 17th century. In 1967, Laudun officially became a Côtes du Rhône Villages appellation authorised to feature its village name.

Soil : Soil ranging from claylimestone to sand, producing full, generous and fruity wines. The parcels are situated on the edge of the garrigue forest, benefiting a great sun exposer facing south.

Harvest : 100% harvested and sorted by hand. The grapes are hand-harvested to the optimal maturity using small cases to avoid crushing.

Vinification : The grapes are fully destemmed and then vinified in inox vats, where they will spend between 5 to 7 weeks. The alcoholic fermentation is brought on by the indigenous yeasts. The pumping-over and rack and return operations carried out during the vatting period are determined by daily tastings.

Ageing : The wine is mainly aged in vats with a part of French oak barrels from 6-12 months.
