Description
Standing on the heights, atop a chain of hills next to the Rhône river, Château de Gicon has provided a strategic viewpoint over the Rhone Valley from time immemorial. In turn castle fortress then lord’s manor, it was owned by the Benedictine Priors of Saint-Saturnin and the Lords of Gicon who developed the culture of the vine. They entrusted us with the secret of making wine which expresses the high quality of our terrors.
It is for this reason that the Vignerons de Laudun Chusclan are totally committed to the restoration and preservation of the Château, symbol of the culture of the vine and winemaking expertise that grows with each and very passing year. Located on the right bank of the Rhone river, in the department of the Gard, Laudun-Chusclan Vignerons is the result of a voluntary association of the Vignerons de Laudun (founded in 1925) and the Vignerons de Chusclan (founded in 1939), intended to create real synergy, resulting in new, ambitious shared projects.
