More Info: Domaine de la Présidente is a family estate located in the South Rhône Valley, in the municipality of Sainte Cécile les Vignes near Avignon, the capital city of Côtes du Rhône. The vineyards of the estate are located in the appellation areas of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Côtes du Rhône Villages Cairanne, Côtes du Rhône Villages and Côtes du Rhône. The 150 hectares of vineyards are planted in limestone clay soils typical of the region, and they benefit from the Mediterranean climate including the sun and the wind, called le Mistral, which blows from north to south through the Rhodanien corridor, helping to protect the vineyard.
