Le Château Saint-Roch in 1999 - 38 hectares of vineyard in AOC Lirac and Côtes du Rhône - Average age of vine : 33 years - The vineyard of Château Saint-Roch is situated on the parish of Roquemaure, on the hillside created by the formation of the Rhone furrow.
			Soils are made of three diferent types: red earth and shingle, particularly suitable for red wine production, a more sandy soil that brings fineness and elegance to wine, and limestone rock slide. The microclimat is especialy interesting,. It is characterized by first: a strong sunny period, second: the influence of the river Rhône for hygrometric conditions, and third: the smaller violence of the Mistral wind because of the protection of the hills of Saint Génies. This micro climate allows a good maturation, even for the Mouvèdre variety which is a late grape variety. An ambitious program of restructuration of the vineyard has begun Increasing the plantation density from 2000 to 4000 vine plants / hectare on 8 hectares by doubling the vine rows. Over grafting Plantation : 1,8 hectare of Syrah and Grenache noir
