Independent municipal area in the Département Vaucluse in the southern French appellation Côtes du Rhône-Villages (see AOC regulations there). Since 1967, the municipality has been allowed to use the name on the label. Winegrowing developed in the 13th century under the influence of the Counts of Toulouse. A wine brotherhood was founded here as early as 1685. This was revived in 1985 under the name "Confrérie des Chevaliers du Gouste-Séguret Compagnons de Saint Vincent". Every year in August, under their patronage, a wine festival is held in honour of Saint Vincent. The vineyards cover 270 hectares of vines on clay and limestone soils. Red, rosé and white wines are produced. Well-known producers are Jean-Pierre Brotte, Domaine de Cabasse, Domaine Garancière and Domaine du Sommier.
The Wine lexicon helps me to keep up to date and refresh my knowledge. Thank you for this Lexicon that will never end in terms of topicality! That's what makes it so exciting to come back often.
