The name ‘LA POULARDIÈRE’ comes from the nickname given to an old plot of Grenache vines in the Southern part of the Côtes du Rhône appellation. This small vineyard was implanted next to a farm from which the chickens used to come over to dig up worms and eat the harmful insects. In doing so they contributed to maintain the ecological balance of the vine.
