Les Galet Dores is derived from young vines and is largely Grenache based with a compliment of Rousanne, Vermentino and sometimes Clairette.

Francois and Anne Collard, owners of the domain, quickly reached the top of the appellation. In a few years they have a become a reference point for quality. Chateau Mourgues Du Gres is located on exceptional pebbles (the gress) based on clay and limestone marl coming from a glacial moraine that was deposited along the Rhone river.

The northern exposure of this terroir provides a cooler environment for the vines and inflects the harsher extremes of the Mediterranean summer. This northern site also lends a substantial vivacity to the wines, which is guarded throughout its winemaking process by a rigorous temperature control preserving all of its natural fruit and freshness.
