Production areaThis regional appellation is produced by 163 communes spread out through the region’s 6 departments. It alone represents 80% of this winegrowing region’s production and covers a surface area of more than 40,000 hectares.
OriginsThe region’s vines are planted on slopes that overlook the valley of the majestic Rhône River. The soil consists of either pebbly terraces, red soils with a sandy clay base, or sand and molasses, but all of these overlie a limestone sub-soil.
