The Vignerons Ardéchois Cave Co-opérative has its roots in the late 1960s when the Presidents of 7 major Cave Co-opératives agreed a unified policy of modernisation, re-planting and marketing. Based in the town of Ruoms, 20 kilometres south of Aubenas this forward-thinking, modernist collective has done much to revive the fortunes of this ancient vine-area, which dates back to Roman times. Today they represents close to 2000 grape growers from 21 different smaller co-operatives.
The vineyard is located in the south east of southern Ardèche on the right bank of the Rhône valley. Located on hillsides and half-slopes on clay-limestone soils and alluvial soils, it benefits from a Mediterranean climate with sunny days and cool nights.
