Terroir & Vinification

caveau_chap

The vineyard of Château des Roques Vacqueyras is an exceptional place.

Consists of a hamlet of the sixteenth century dry stone of the eighteenth chapel attached to the diocese and a nineteenth castle with its ancient plane trees, it is mostly surrounded by 38 hectares of vineyards …
It is in this idyllic setting that was born the story of a passion passed down from generation to generation and extended by our family since 1997.

We can identify them indiscriminately Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre for our red wines; Grenache Blanc, Viognier, bourboulenc and Marsanne for our white wines, on a stony limestone clay soil.
The philosophy of our family vineyard is part of a farming with the use of natural fertilizers, tailored treatments and manual harvesting, with the greatest respect for tradition.

The aging cellar is cave with a natural spring which allows ideal conditions both for winemaking, as its aging. The barrels and half barrels oak finish to perfect this meticulous preparation.
