The diversity of our terroirs contributes to the quality and complexity of our wines by providing them with a subtle palette of flavours.
Vinified using methods that bring together traditional skills and modern technology, and aged carefully and bottled in our cellars, the white wines of the Champ-Long are aromatic, lively and fresh. The rosés are elegant, fine and fruity. The fruit-driven red wines have all of the generosity, volume and power we've come to expect from the finest wines of the Rhône Valley.
