Discover our vineyard in Gigondas, our wines and our cellar.
Since 1929, a family passion has been behind some of the most beautiful chapters in the history of Gigondas.
Our story begins in 1929, when my grandfather decided to market bottles from the 7 hectares of Gigondas vineyards passed down from generation to generation under the Pierre Amadieu label. He was one of the first to include the name of the appellation on the bottles and, in 1932, won a gold medal at the Paris Agricultural Show.

A Terroir, a Family, a History...
Gigondas, a small village in Provence, is situated between Vaison-la-Romaine and Carpentras, at the foot of the Dentelles de Montmirail. Perched on a promontory, it is a typical Provençal village, with its narrow cobbled streets and stone houses. The earliest evidence of Gigondas dates back to Roman times. A veteran of one of Julius Caesar’s legions came to settle here. He was nicknamed Jucundus, ‘the cheerful one’, thus giving the village the name Jocundatis, later Gigondas. With Roman civilisation came the cultivation of vines in the area around the village. Wine-growing in Gigondas has continued throughout history right up to the modern era.
Gigondas began to establish itself as a quality wine-growing region from the 19th century onwards. When the Appellations d’Origine Contrôlée were created in the 1930s, the wines produced in Gigondas were classified as Côtes du Rhône. In 1966, the Côtes du Rhône Village Gigondas appellation was created, but it was in 1971 that it obtained the status of Cru de la Vallée du Rhône, exclusively for red and rosé wines. In 2021, the committee of the Institut National de l’Origine et de la Qualité (INAO) accepted the request from Gigondas winegrowers to also classify white wines as Cru Gigondas. This decision will come into effect from the 2023 vintage.
The wines of the Gigondas AOC are blends dominated by the Grenache grape variety, often complemented by Syrah and Mourvèdre. Find out more about the grape varieties.
