Chateau d'Aigueville
Five kilometers north of Orange, in the heart of the southern Rhône Valley, lies Château d'Aigueville – nestled in a landscape that combines hills, sun and cool breezes to create a true paradise for winegrowers.
Here in the Massif d'Uchaux , wines with a distinctive character are produced: juicy, aromatic, with red fruit and a hint of wild garrigue – that typical southern French herbal spice that you can almost smell when you open the bottle.

Château d'Aigueville - Southern Rhône character from the Massif d'Uchaux
Five kilometers north of Orange, in the Massif d'Uchaux , lies Château d'Aigueville in a hilly landscape characterized by sunshine, cool breezes, and wild garrigue. The soils here—a mixture of limestone, clay, and gravel—give the wines a depth rarely found in the flatter parts of the southern Rhône Valley.
The red wines are based on the classic varieties of the South: Grenache brings juicy red fruit, Syrah structure and peppery spice, Mourvèdre dark depth, and Carignan fresh vibrancy. In the glass, you can taste the landscape – blackberry, thyme, a hint of dried herbs. The white wines made from Clairette, Viognier, and Roussanne reveal another side of the terroir: floral, fresh, with a fine texture.
Wines from Château d'Aigueville pair well with hearty Provençal dishes – leg of lamb with herbs, grilled vegetables, and local goat cheese. For those wishing to discover the Southern Rhône beyond the major appellations, this is an honest and characterful introduction.
