The Carmargue is about an hour's drive from the house, however, a must see if you love nature. The Camargue, Western Europe's largest river delta, covers an area of over 900 square kilometers - a wild landscape of red salt lagoons teeming with flamingoes, reedy marshes and rice paddies, herds of wild white Camargue Horses and farms where Europe's only cowboys - the Gardiens - raise fighting black bulls for the bullrings of Languedoc and Spain.

Uchaux wines we are fortunate to be located on a very particular terroir, quite hilly made up of plots of vines surrounded by scrubland, pines, or olive groves.
Varieties such as Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre find a generous sun that will give them this deep dress with the shimmering color so characteristic wines of the Uchaux massif.
