Terroir
The topography here – and the geology that created it – makes for a complex patchwork of terroirs. The local continental climate means warm, dry summers and cold winters, influenced by the strong winds, such as the Mistral. This bowls down the Rhône at speeds of up to 90 kilometers per hour (55mph). Some diurnal temperature variation contributes to the balanced aromatics in the wines and temperatures are cooled by the winds.
