| Domaine du Coriançon is located on the sunny hills of Vinsobres, a village lying between Nyons and Vaison la Romaine.
François Vallot, the owner and fourth generation winemaker, has been in charge of the estate since July 1976. He has continued his father’s policy, carefully choosing grape varieties enabling the production of vintage quality wines. His motto is the use of modernity (temperature control, new storage facility with oak barrels) to the service of tradition.
The vineyards are cultivated according to biodynamic principles, in harmony and balance with nature, taking into account the influence of the movement of the moon and the planets on the vines. The Domain is certified by Ecocert, with a mention from Demeter. The care put in the vineyard leads to high quality grapes, the necessary basis to create high quality wines. They received DEMETER certification beginning with the 2007 vintage.
The vineyards, spreading over 31 hectares, are situated on the terraced hills of Vinsobres, on the old alluvial lands (soft chalky rocks with stones). It is the most privileged part of Vinsobres oriented East-West with a maximum level of sunlight, while sheltered by the hills from the Mistral (the dominant north wind). The special microclimate of this region is Mediterranean, with mild winters and hot summers softened by a local wind the “Pontias” which takes away any mist. For this reason only four treatments a year are necessary, without any use of chemical products. Vinsobres was classified Cotes du Rhone Villages in 1957, then Cotes du Rhone Villages Vinsobres in 1967. The vineyard obtained the local appellation Vinsobres in 2005. |
