The appellation area is located on the left bank of the Rhône, between Orange and Avignon, in Châteauneuf du Pape at the highest point north of the appellation on the Fargueirol plateau.

The terroir is characterized by large rolled pebbles which store the heat of the generous Provence sun during the day and release it at night. The height of pebbles is 2 meters; below, there is a clay bench where the roots of the vine draw their water needs: an exceptional terroir.
