Gigondas vines nestle on Trignon little valley hillsides where a microclimate favour vines growth : cool nights, south-west exposure offer them sunsets on the Rhone valley. The nights are cool and airy, which helps slow the transfer of the grapes. The very poor limestone gravel subsoil has the advantage of well draining rainwaters.
