Coteaux Pont du Gard

The Coteaux du Pont du Gard vineyards are located in Languedoc, the Occitan region of southern France. It stretches from the Mediterranean to the Ardèche, linking Languedoc and Provence. This label testifies to the region's strong production potential, as well as its outstanding heritage. The Pont du Gard, from which the vineyard takes its name, is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Water is also a defining element of the Coteaux du Pont du Gard, particularly at Vergèze, influencing the viticultural territories and impacting the aromatic profile and balance of the grapes. The soils are diverse: coarse-grained yellow limestone, known as Pont du Gard stone; white limestone from the garrigue plateaus, as well as blond limestone from Uzès; and pebbly soils along the Rhône. A dry, strict, sunny Mediterranean climate produces powerful, complex wines with elegance. But this climate is dominated by the powerful mistral wind, alternating with episodes of sea breeze responsible for the violent autumn rains. 

Excellent conditions for ripening and adapting grape varieties produce wines with a Mediterranean character. Red wines are powerful and warm, with fruity aromas. White wines and fine, elegant rosés are full-bodied and fruity, generally vinified to be drunk young.
