Our story

Château Gigognan was built on the foundations of a Roman temple that was a priory in the 16th century, when we found the first archives of the vineyard. After having passed through the hands of several owners, it was recently acquired by the Hénin family who undertook major renovation work, the construction of a new winery, the reconstruction of the vineyard which will be completely organic from the 2018 harvest. This process is supported by the advice of the famous consultant Stéphane Derenoncourt.

Other little stories

Jean-François Hénin wished to call upon Stéphane Derenoncourt's advice for his authentic and faithful approach to the exceptional terroir of Châteauneuf du Pape for both Reds and Whites. Our 40 ha of Côtes du Rhône offer wines that also evoke great sensations of terroir and freshness, I recommend in particular this special Cuvée from a small plot "le bois des Moines" or Mouverdre and Grenache express all the strength and elegance of this terroir.
