Presentation
The name Les Gémarelles finds its origins in the first names given to Geneviève, the mother of Florence and Jean-Baptiste Quiot. Her first name is Geneviève, Marie, Elisabeth, which gives us GE-MAR-EL.
This range of wine is a tribute to Geneviève and her ancestors from Provence.

Location
Indescribable… and irresistible!
Its history has experienced multiple twists and turns since this grape variety almost disappeared... Originally, it was exclusively cultivated in the northern Côtes du Rhône (from Vienna to Valence), before becoming one of the most popular in California. Today, this white grape variety is distinguished as much by its rarity as by the complexity of some of its aromas, so shifting that they escape description.
