Description
The Côtes du Rhône Villages Visan vineyard is located in the commune of Visan in the Vaucluse.
For centuries, the vines have extended from the plain to the village.
A land known for its red wines, it has recently started producing equally fine white wines. Winegrowers are also increasingly producing rosé wines.
Its terroir, which allows vines to be grown at high altitudes, all rocked by refreshing winds, produces fresh wines in all three colours.
