Rich Terroirs

The Cellier des Dauphins vineyards lie in the Rhône Valley, the foothills of the southern Alps rising in the distance. In these terroirs, sun-drenched vines swaying in the southern breeze, grow the renowned grape varieties that have made the Côtes du Rhône famous: Syrah, Grenache, Viognier and many others regional grapes.

Such diversity enables our winemakers to produce aromatic blended wines of great complexity. Among the Côtes du Rhône AOCs are 20 Côtes du Rhône Villages appellations, including the most well known: Plan de Dieu, Puyméras and Valréas. Exceptional terroirs produce the most illustrious Crus: Châteauneuf-du-pape, Vacqueyras, Vinsobres and Cairanne.
