History
Born in the heart of the southern Rhône Valley, the Secret des Galets range celebrates the richness and diversity of its terroirs. Shaped by pebbly soils, the Mistral wind and a sunny climate, each wine captures the true essence of this remarkable region. This collection demonstrates the generosity and deep character of the Rhône Valley’s finest terroirs.
Terroir
Located to the east of the town of Orange, the Plan de Dieu terroir is a vast alluvial terrace formed like an interland between the Aigues and Ouvèze rivers. It is surmounted by quaternary limestone pebbles. These deposits lie alternately on blue clay and sandstone safres. Plan de Dieu’s complete exposure to the Mistral wind ensures the vineyards remain in excellent health. The optimal amount of sunshine allows the grapes to reach perfect ripeness.
Winemaking
Syrah and Grenache are vinified in a traditional temperature-controlled manner. The two-week maceration period creates an attractive fruit with soft tannins.
