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
If the vines found their chosen lands very early on in Gigondas, the wines achieved their consecration in 1971, the year in which the appellation “Gigondas, Cru des Côtes du Rhône” was obtained. For two millennia, the village in the heart of the Dentelles de Montmirail has lived mainly from its vines. Today, nearly 200 winegrowers perpetuate this tradition, including the QUIOT Family!
