Terroirs
The main terroirs of the Côtes-du-Rhône:
• Pebble stones
• Clay lands
• Stony soils
• Soils of stony spreading
• Sandy soils
These soils provide the vine with a regular water supply and the return, during the night, of the heat stored in the day by pebbles. They are particularly conducive to the development of wines of guard.
