Domaine de Vigier

It's in 1975 that Jacqueline and Francis moved to Largorce, on 40 hectares of vines. In the 90s, their children took over after graduating from agricultural school specialising in viticulture and oenology, and expand little by little. Today, Domaine de Vigier covers 110 hectares and 3 towns : Lagorce, Vallon Pont d’Arc and Saint-Remèze. The size of the vineyard is peculiar in the region, as the location allows big plots to be managed.

Region and Appellation Information

Region – Rhone

The Rhône Valley is home to some of the oldest vineyards in the world, with wine production dating back to Greek occupation in the 4th century BC and thriving under the Romans; it was later revived when the papacy moved to Avignon in the fourteenth century, giving Châteauneuf-du-Pape ('the Pope's new castle') its name. The Northern Rhône is home to prestigious names such as Côte-Rôtie, Condrieu, and Hermitage - small-production wines of exceptional quality - where Syrah is the sole red grape and whites come from Viognier, Marsanne, and Roussanne. The larger, warmer Southern Rhône is best known for the bold Châteauneuf-du-Pape and its rival Gigondas, alongside excellent-value names such as Vacqueyras, Rasteau, and Cairanne. Its wines are predominantly red, built chiefly on Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre.
