Chateau de Roxanne Vinsobres

Located on a Gallo-Roman site owned by a certain “Rugius”, Chateau de Rouanne becomes part of a local lord’s estate in the Middle Ages. Located in the Crus wine village of Vinsobres, Chateau de Rouanne now belongs to Louis Barruol, owner of the ancient family-run Chateau de Saint Cosme in Gigondas. The old vines of grenache (50%), syrah (40%) and mourvedre (10%) prosper on the single vineyard slope at Souanne. The limestone marls from the pliocene times which contain sand, clay and iron, make it a mysterious, complex and red soil.
