Vignobles Famille Quiot, Côtes du Rhône

The Quiot family has been winegrowers since 1748. Today, Florence and Jean-Baptiste, the 13th generation, are at the head of the estates which are all located in the Southern Rhône Valley and Provence. It is a set made up of several domains, each having its own independence, its typicity, its soul, its history and its aromatic profile.

The Côtes du Rhône is divided into two distinct climatic zones between the north and the south of the valley. In the southern part, the typically Mediterranean climate is characterized by very sunny, hot and dry summers, and mild winters where humidity is more abundant. The sunshine, the heat, the sometimes violent wind and a relative drought are conducive to good plant development and ripening of the vines, while limiting diseases. A valuable aid for the production of great wines. (Source CDR)

2 types of terroir:
- the alluvial terraces rich in pebbles provide the vines with a regular water supply and the restitution, during the night, of the heat stored during the day by the pebbles.
- the alluvial clay-limestone terraces offer a more contrasting water supply.
