Gard's Côtes du Rhône: Vines and Bell Towers (Video)

Listed villages in the heart of the vineyards

Wines from the Côtes du Rhône in the Gard region

Every wine embodies the spirit of a village. Here in the Côtes du Rhône Gardoises, the terroirs are as varied as the landscapes, and the Côtes du Rhône and Côtes du Rhône Villages wines produced here are as distinctive as the villages that surround them. Sometimes, the villages even lend their names to the wines!

Just like La Roque-sur-Cèze, Montclus and Aiguèze are listed among the “Most Beautiful Villages of France.” These ancient fortified villages, built on rocky outcrops, overlook the river.

The Cèze for some and the Ardèche for others. Even today, they occupy a strategic place in the landscape, as they can be admired from afar. You can also enjoy the pleasure of exploring them thanks to the many guided tours organized in the region, which focus specifically on this rural heritage. These tours often conclude with a visit to a winery or a tasting of local wine. A pleasant way to explore heritage in all its forms.
