HISTORY OF OUR LANDS
Rousset Les Vignes is the birthplace of Domaine de la Bouvaude and, thanks to current owner Alain Blachon, since 1969, has also formed part of prestigious appellation AOC Cotes du Rhônes Villages Rousset Les Vignes.
Steeped in history, it is believed to have been a hub of commerce for hundreds of centuries BC, not only for the Gauls who had settled there at the time, but also the Ancient Greeks, whose “Greek Pitchers” and “Pseudo-Ionian” Wine jars, are just some of the artefacts to have been uncovered in its precious soils.
As well as trading goods on its picturesque plots lined with olive groves and lavender fields, Rousset Les Vignes was also heralded as somewhat of a viticultural hub too.
11th Century Benedectine monks first planted vines there on its sandstone slopes, and it was later confirmed by a 15th Century land survey that the variety of soil types in the area were also all very suitable for viticulture.
