Château de Campuget, which belongs to the Dalle family since 1941, is producing A.O.C. Costières de Nîmes wines. The vineyard of 160 hectares is situated in the heart of the A.O.C. area, between Nîmes and Arles, a few kilometres from the right side of the Rhône river.
The main characteristic of this “terroir” is its soil , formed by an accumulation of round stones that had been rolled by many overflows of the Rhône river during the quaternary era. It allows the grapevines to establish their roots deep enough to find the water they need for growing. At the same time they profit of the sunny Mediterranean climate, essential for the good maturation of the grapes.
