Presentation

A favorable location

 

A vineyard perched on a hillside, at an altitude of 200 metres, in the centre of the eight hamlets which comprise the village of Sabran in the Gard.

The vineyard of Sabran benefits from a South/ South-Eastern exposure. It lies on the right bank of the Rhône, 4 kilometres west of the town of Bagnols sur Cèze. It has a Mediterranean climate with a great deal of sunshine.

It also benefits from the Mistral wind which blows along the Rhône valley.

At the same latitude, on the left bank of the Rhône, the major vineyards of the Vaucluse can be found: Gigondas - Vacqueyras and Châteauneuf du Pape.

The soils are composed alternately of sand and loess. It is very rocky on the surface and lies on lime and silicaceous sandstone which provides good water balance and facilitates the development of very deep roots.
