The Côtes du Rhône Villages Gadagne extend over 5 communes of Vaucluse: Caumont-sur-Durance, Châteauneuf-de-Gadagne, Morières-lès-Avignon, Saint-Saturnin-lès-Avignon and Vedène.
A land of stones and wind, the AOC vines make their way through deep beds of rolled pebbles, and only red wines are allowed there.
The Côtes du Rhône Villages Gadagne wines are robust, muscular, structured and made from local grape varieties.
