Established on an exceptional terroir, this estate stands out for the superior quality of its wines and its environmental commitment. Stretching over about thirty hectares, the vineyard is planted on steep slopes, benefiting from optimal exposure to the sun's rays. This favorable geographical location, combined with a sandy and stony soil, creates ideal conditions for grape ripening, enhancing the expression of aromas and the concentration of flavors. At LePlan-Vermeersch Estate, you will mainly find traditional grape varieties from the Rhone Valley, such as Grenache, Syrah or Mourvèdre for red wines, and Viognier, Marsanne or Roussanne for white wines. Particularly adapted to this terroir, these grape varieties offer wines that are both indulgent and complex, marked by notes of red fruits, spices and garrigue. Involved in an environmental approach, the estate works for the preservation of the vineyard ecosystem. Thus, it follows the principles of organic and biodynamic agriculture, refusing the use of chemical products and favoring a respectful approach to nature and biodiversity. The story of the LePlan-Vermeersch Estate is closely linked to that of the Vermeersch family. Originally from Belgium, Dirk Vermeersch settled in Provence in the early 2000s, after a career as a racing driver. Passionate about wine, he fell in love with this estate, which he has transformed into a benchmark in the Rhone Valley.

Discovering the wine region of Rhone Valley

The Rhone Valley is a key wine-producing region in Southeastern France. It follows the North-south course of the Rhône for nearly 240 km, from Lyon to the Rhône delta (Bouches-du-Rhône), near the Mediterranean coast. The Length of the valley means that Rhône wines are the product of a wide variety of soil types and mesoclimates. The viticultural areas of the region cover such a distance that there is a widely accepted division between its northern and southern parts.

They are separated quite clearly by a 40 km gap between the towns of Valance and Montélimar, where vines are hardly ever grown. This division is reflected not only in the geography and preferred Grape varieties, but also in the quality and quantity of the wines produced. The smaller, more quality-oriented north focuses almost entirely on Syrah for red wines and Viognier, Marsanne and Roussanne for whites, while the larger, more prolific south employs a much longer list of grape varieties. Most notable are the red varieties Grenache and Mourvèdre, which are combined with Syrah to produce the "GSM" blend so characteristic of the southern Rhône.
