Description
The Côtes du Rhône Villages Rousset-les-Vines extend only over the commune of Rousset-les-Vignes in the Drôme.
This vineyard is considered one of the most confidential with its 300 hectares, of which about twenty are in production Côtes du Rhône Villages Rousset-les-Vignes.
The vines of this appellation flourish in the hills of safre made up of a mixture of sand and shell fossils
deposited by the sea millions of years ago.
These soils and terroir allow to have fruity red wines, supple with soft tannins, but also more full-bodied and structured wines on the top of the hill.
