Gigondas, Vaucluse, 2016.The village of Gigondas gives its name to one of the “grand cru” Côtes du Rhone appellations, though that designation is not used in the region. Gigondas is also unspeakably cute and has several of the best rural/village restaurants in Provence. Like many cities in areas of rugged landscape, the village is sited on the steep slope above the fertile bottom lands - for protection from enemies and floods and to keep the fertile land free for viticulture. -- source link
