Located in the commune of Châteauneuf-de-Gadagne in the Vaucluse, Domaine des Garriguettes cultivates 50 hectares of vineyards using organic farming practices. The estate grows grape varieties traditionally associated with Châteauneuf-du-Pape on rolled pebble soils. Grenache Noir and Blanc, Cinsault, Syrah, Mourvèdre, and Clairette Blanche all find the ideal conditions here to reach optimal ripeness. The result is wines with a smooth, enveloping mouthfeel and a Mediterranean fruit expression, perfect for pairing with Provençal dishes and convivial aperitifs!
