Domain presentation
Deeply rooted in the identity of the vineyards of the Rhône Valley by its terraces of rolled pebbles, the territory of the Vignerons Créateurs is distinguished by the combination of exceptional sunshine and the presence of sea breezes which generate a large thermal amplitude between day and night and give this characteristic freshness and this singular personality to the wines.
The clays provide the vines with the water and minerals essential for their development, while the rolled pebbles prevent water from stagnating on the surface. The sea breeze, coming from the Mediterranean and the Camargue ponds, softens the strong summer heat and tempers the southern effect of the sun. It is in this natural alchemy that the magic happens, resulting in the 6 appellations of generous, vibrant and luminous wines, imbued with a remarkable history and an atypical freshness.
Les Vignerons Créateurs practice sustainable agriculture and implement several agro-environmental initiatives. Cutting-edge winemaking equipment enhances the winegrowers’ work.

The wines
The wines are made from a mosaic of 27 grape varieties. Reds and rosés are mainly made from traditional grape varieties such as Syrah, Grenache, Mourvèdre and, more rarely, Carignan, Cinsault and Marselan. Whites are made from Grenache Blanc, Roussanne, Marsanne but also Clairette, Viognier and Vermentino (Rolle).
Reds: Between Grenache and Syrah, the art of blending. Ruby-colored wines with garnet highlights, fragrant, with notes of red fruits and wild berries such as blackberry and elderberry. Drink fresh or cellar for three to five years, they evolve toward distinctive aromas of violet, black olive, sweet spices, and garrigue. Finally, they linger on the palate with a fleshy texture and savory licorice tannins. Whites: The brilliant golden yellow color of the Costières de Nîmes whites heralds expressive, lively, and flavorful wines. They develop generous fruitiness, fresh aromas of white flowers, citrus, and exotic fruits. Rosés: A beautiful soft pink, they offer a lovely aromatic palette of red fruits, citrus, and exotic fruits. Lively on the palate, they boast the deliciousness of strawberry, grapefruit and passion fruit and will adapt to all occasions, from the most authentic to the most elaborate, from aperitif to dessert.
