Domaine du Bosc's unique volcanic soils were formed one million years ago off the Med coast (near what's now Adge), when a geyser spurted ash and lava 1km into the air. The Phoenicians and Romans made wine here; Pierre Bésinet (whose ancestors arrived in 1790) now cultivates 14 varieties using 'green' methods. A wine that's great with Bouillabaisse.

Domaine Durieu is a family-owned domaine established in 1976, and winemaking is now overseen by Vincent Durieu. Their Côtes du Rhône vineyards are located on the Plan de Dieu, a plateau of light, stony soils bordering the slopes of Rasteau and Cairanne. Dark purplish red, with a classic Rhône nose of red and black berries, enhanced with a touch of wild herbs and spice. Has plenty of body, but is more info >>
Showing an impressive concentration of herbaceous and citrus aromas on the nose the palate displays a real intensity of gooseberry and grapefruit characters. Crisp acidity makes this a clean and refreshing wine perfect for drinking with goat's cheese salad.
Pale yellow and translucent in the glass, the nose is subdued with hints of peach, spice and even a slightly herbal note. The palate is broad and restrained; a serious, structured wine, but with an attractive, gentle acidity. Quite broad and full, it will repay a little more cellaring. This is very impressive.
Owned today by Jean-Claude Mas, this well established domaine has 25 hectares of vines in the Terrasses du Larzac area. Here in the foothills of the Montagne Noir, the soils are of limestone, clay and large pebbles, and are reminiscent of those of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. An intense shade of purplish red with ruby hints. The nose offers notes of mocha and liquorice amidst the dark berry fruits. The palate more info >>

In the mid-1990s, Philippe du Roy of Châteauneuf's famed Domaine de Villeneuve joined forces with consultant Philippe Cambie, seeking to produce 'authentic' (rather than flashy, souped-up and overblown) southern Rhône wines that owed their character to natural processes involving earth, vines, fruit, harvesting and winemaking. Gently-handled from vine to bottle, this spicy red, with classic peppery, meaty notes from the Cairanne region is as complex as Châteauneuf.

Beatrice and Jean Claude Bouche, owners of this domaine, are impassioned wine-makers. Together they manage their vineyards using organic farming methods, creating wines of great character. Just to the east of Orange the Domaine du Vieux Chene vineyards spread out on a slightly sloped and very rocky plateau. This location offers the wines the benefit of a beneficial microclimate thanks to an especially high yearly level of sunshine.
