Côtes-du-Rhône Villages grapes are grown on the typical land of quartz pebbles and ancient marl in full south exposure. Restricted yields farmed to Biodynamic status from 35 year old Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre vines.

As of 2017, Mr Jean-François Hénin purchased the Château Gigognan estate with the ambition to produce great organic wines thanks to its exceptional terroirs. This project, which he has been leading ever since, is based on a huge plan to restructure the vineyard and to build a new, high-tech cellar complying with the very latest environmental standards. Additionally, he decided to buy parcels of vines from the famous Maison Jaboulet located on fabulous terroirs. Because preserving the biodiversity is also one of Jean-François Hénin’s biggest concerns, respect for nature is obviously a key part of the estate’s philosophy. Led by the vineyard manager Loïc Baillet, and the oenologist-cellar master Jenna Le Lay, everyone in the new technical team devoted to the organic approach now combines two, seemingly contradictory, qualities: the objective of allowing the terroir to express all the subtleties of its potential and the humility of helping it to do so as naturally as possible. And we can safely say that this challenge has been met when we taste the wines of Château Gigognan!
