Warm, Mediterranean; Hot summers tempered by large diurnal swings with heavy autumnal rains and mild winters

Southern Rhone geo
Vineyards funnel outward in a fan shape from Montelimar to the Mediterranean in the Rhone River valley. Relatively flat, rugged garrigue scrubland. The Mistral Wind blows more fiercely than in the Northern Rhone
50
CDP soils
Principal soil types include clay (argillaceous), sand (siliceous), limestone (calcareous), and marl (molasse). Topsoils are diverse, and include several sizes and types of stones. In the north and northwest, galets roulés are common. These large round stones comprised of quartzite and silica are the remnants of retreating Alpine glaciers from thousands of years ago, polished smooth by the Rhône River. The galets help to retain daytime heat and moderate temperatures in the vineyard.
