Just a few minutes from Avignon, the capital of the Côtes-du-Rhône, and since 1929, the Cave Coopérative des Chartreux has been happily combining the boldness and creativity of a human-scale enterprise with the experience of almost a hundred years.
Côtes du Rhône Villages, Crus de Tavel & Lirac, Saint-Gervais Villages, Côtes du Rhône, Gard… Rich in a palette of unique Terroirs, Chartreux has been creating a precious mosaic of Sensation wines since 1929, with respect, enthusiasm and creativity…
