The production area of Coteaux du Tricastin is situated on the left bank of the Rhône, between Dauphiné and Provence, from Montélimar to Saint Paul Trois Châteaux. This magnificent region offers light, smells, sounds and infinite colours, with its vineyard landscapes in the middle of lavender fields, its scrubland where cicada sing, its plantations of truffle oaks, its olive trees, its fruit trees and aromatic plants... Traditionally dedicated to mixed farming and considerably wooded, the region has seen its vineyards progress considerably. It is not rare to see growing, in the middle of the vineyards, an oak beneath which prospers the precious black diamond, the truffle, and whose animal and wooded flavour will mix with the aroma of the wine.

The truffle, called 'black diamond' for its value, but also 'Rabasse' in Provencal, has also the scientific name of 'Tuber melanosporum'.
The Village of Garde-Adhémar overlooks the Plain of Pierrelatte. Whilst the ramparts suggest a mediaeval origin, Gallo-Roman remains were discovered in the course of archaeological Investigations. In the 16th century, Antoine Escalin, also known as Le Poulin, General of the Royal Galleys and the local Seigneur, had a magnificent Renaissance château built, but this was demolished soon after 1810.
