Appellation AOP Côtes du Rhône : The history of Laudun stretches back to Roman times, as evidenced by the Camp de César, a major archaeological site lying on a vast fortified plateau. Historians believe that vines were first planted on the Laudun hillsides around this time. The wines of Laudun grew in popularity, particularly in the 17th century. In 1967, Laudun officially became a Côtes du Rhône Villages appellation authorised to feature its village name.

Soil : Soil ranging from claylimestone to sand, producing full, generous and fruity wines. The parcels are situated on the edge of the garrigue forest, benefiting a great sun exposer facing south.
