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
In the Middle Ages, crossing this vast scrubland forest, at the mercy of thugs, merited entrusting one's soul to God. It is probably to this legend that the Plan of God owes its name. Since then, vines have colonized this territory. Today it extends over 1,500 hectares at an altitude of 110 meters.
Terroir
These pebbles rest either on blue Pliocene clay or on sandstone, ensuring rising humidity which relatively preserves the growth of the vines during the summer drought. On the estate, the terroir is a vast alluvial terrace rich in pebbles.
