  • A Wine Adventure in Vaucluse 2016 Press Kit
    Côtes du Rhône • Châteauneuf-du-Pape • Ventoux • Luberon A wine adventure in Vaucluse 2016 press kit Vaucluse Tourism www.provenceguide.com « A DAY WITHOUT WINE IS A DAY WITHOUT SUNSHINE» as the saying goes and Vaucluse can rely on both! Without any doubt, the history of vineyards, grown here for thousands of years, and the history of Vaucluse are inex- tricably intertwined. Each in their time, Greeks, Romans, the Popes, the Jews - not to mention the mighty Rhône River, have all had a decisive influence on both. Three appellations cover the area here – Côtes du Rhône, AOC Ventoux, and AOC Luberon. The Châteauneuf-du-Pape vintage has attained international fame and more than half of the villages in Vaucluse make their living from wine. Since times past when the traveller took refuge in monasteries, welcomed with a glass of wine, wine has remained a symbol of friendship, of sharing, of human warmth and joie de vivre... In other words, wine is a lifestyle, the Vaucluse lifestyle. www.wine-tourism-provence.co.uk YOUR CONTACTS IN OUR PRESS DEPARTMENT Valérie BISET Head of Press and Communications [email protected] T. +33(0)4 90 80 47 06 Daniela DAMIANI National and international press [email protected] T. +33(0)4 90 80 47 07 Valérie GILLET International Press [email protected] T. +33(0)4 90 80 47 08 Teresa STORM International Press [email protected]. +33(0)4 90 80 47 04 VAUCLUSE TOURISM – Wine Press Kit 2016 - Contact: Valérie BISET – T. 33 (0)4 90 80 47 06 [email protected] - www.wine-tourism-provence.co.uk - http://press.provenceguide.com Page | 3 Table of contents 04 Zoom on..

  • Le Massif De Gigondas
    LE MASSIF DE GIGONDAS par François DOUVILLE Visibles de fort loin, les trois « dentelles » de Gigondas forment l'architecture du massif gauche du Rhône, à hauteur d'Orange, séparant la plaine du Comtat venaissin et le Tricastin. Le massif a une forme triangulaire dont le sommet Ouest se place à hauteur de Vacqueyras, le flanc Sud allant rejoindre le Ventoux en passant par le Barroux; le flanc Nord allant se perdre sous la plaine molassique de Vaison. Ce massif présente deux parties d'aspect fort différent : — Les « dentelles » caractérisent la partie SW, entre Gigondas, Lafare et Suzette. Ces crêtes, extrêmement fines et découpées, forment trois arêtes délimitant deux vallons larges et profonds. —' La partie NE est une chaîne compacte dominant à son extré­ mité la « plaine » de Vaison. — Ces deux régions sont unies par le col de l'Aigle et la zone cultivée de Châteauneuf-Redortier où leur raccord est masqué par un gigantesque cône d'éboulis. Les sommets culminent à 732 m (crête de Saint-Amand) et 680 m (dentelle du Turc) alors que la plaine de Gigondas monte de 150 m (Vacqueyras) à 250 m (extrémité d'Arfuyen). Le premier travail d'ensemble sur cette région est dû à E. RAS- PAIL qui, en 1842, à l'occasion d'une découverte paléontologique dans le massif, fait le point des connaissances sur celui-ci et en donne la première carte géologique. Dans une brève monographie il en décrit la série; il soupçonne la position infra-jurassique du Trias sans s'attarder à étudier la question à fond. Par contre la description du Jurassique est très précise et les listes de faune qui l'accompagnent comprennent les principales Ammonites caractéris- 22 FRANÇOIS DOUV1LLE.

  • Rhone Valley Southern France’S Rhône Valley Is One of the Most Prominent Areas for Red Wine Production in the Country
    STAFF TRAINING MODULE Rhone Valley Southern France’s Rhône Valley is one of the most prominent areas for red wine production in the country. Over 100 million gallons of wine are produced in the region annually, spanning the spectrum of quality from the inexpensive bistro fare of Côtes-du-Rhône to the powerful and emblematic wines of appellations like Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Côte-Rôtie, and Hermitage. 1 The Region n total, more than two dozen AOCs lie along the Rhône river’s path, but they Imay be conveniently grouped into two categories: the appellations of the Southern Rhône and those of the North. The two regions produce red wines that are distinct from one another, but the appellations within each region generally fall into a similar profile of style. White wines from either region are rare; collectively, 95% of the valley’s vineyards are planted with red varieties. From its headwaters in Switzerland, the Rhône river flows southward through France toward the Mediterranean coastline; the waterway has been an impor- tant vein of trade for over two millennia, and today it connects the cities of Lyon, Vienne, Valence and Avignon with the sea. Winemaking along the Rhône river has an equally long history, dating to the era of the Roman Empire: Pliny the Elder’s description of the resin-flavored vinum picatum produced in the hillsides near Vienne is preserved in the writer’s Natural History. Over a thousand years later, Pope Clement V moved the Roman Catholic papal seat from Rome to Avignon, and legend suggests that a knight returning from the Crusades built a small chapel on hill overlooking the river.
