In the beginning, a Roman temple is at the origin of a promising farming pattern. Later in the 14th century, a Priory, heart of monastic activity saw the first vineyards in this area named the “Little Gigognan”, at the service of Papacy based in Avignon at that time.

Now restored, Chateau Gigognan drives 40 ha of vineyards in Châteauneuf du Pape (organic ECOCERT labelled) and 42 ha of Cotes du Rhone in (Sustainable label Terra Vitis) It also offers a setting like no other to wine lovers thanks to Oenotourism events since 2012.

As the first AOC wine in France in 1936, the 3,150 hectares of the appellation extend over 5 communes: Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Bédarrides, Courthézon, Orange, and Sorgues. With 300 harvest declarants, the appellation produces an average of 90,000 hectoliters per vintage, or about 12 million bottles, distributed to 93% for red wines and 7% for white wines. Benefiting from a unique natural heritage, the AOC relies on 13 grape varieties, 5 distinct terroirs, and an exceptional climate, marked by sun and mistral, to produce exceptional wines distributed mainly for export (66% of volumes in 2021). Historically and continuously committed to sustainable development issues, 35% of the AOC’s surfaces are managed in organic or biodynamic agriculture.
