Chateau de Marjolet

Chateau de Marjolet

Chateau de Marjolet is situated to the west of the River Rhone in the communes of Laudun and Gaujac. The Laudun part shares the same stony soils as Chateauneuf-du-Pape on the other side of the river; these retain the heat to give really full wines. The Gaujac part is on limestone hills which create fresher wine. The Chateau has been owned by the Pontaud family for many generations, today it is run by Laurent and his sister Sophie.
