Located on the western banks of the Rhône river, the Ardèche is home to home to around 7500 hectares planted in the pains of the Ardèche valley and the foothills of the Cévennes mountains. Varietal wines are increasingly popular but generally the wines are inexpensive blends from Grenache, Cinsault, Syrah and Gamay. Co-operative cellars are common in the area.
