We’ve been working with the wines of Les Vignerons d’Estézargues for over a decade, and they’ve long been a benchmark for honest, great-value Côtes du Rhône. Founded in 1965 near Avignon, this pioneering grower-run cooperative shows that collective winemaking can still deliver real quality, from careful vineyard work to genuine, transparent vinification. Small independent growers farm clay-limestone and stony Rhône soils, with wines made using native yeasts, stainless steel élevage, and minimal sulphur.
