Gigondas
The village of Gigondas was a winegrowing area up until the time of the phylloxera epidemic at the end of the XXth Century.
As a consequence of the disaster, Gigondas chose to turn towards olive growing.
However,following the " Black Frosts " in 1956 which destroyed the greater part of its olive trees Gigondas reverted to winegrowing, re-implanting high quality vineyards- and which nevertheless had to wait until 1971 before gaining A.O.C. acknowledgement.
