| The territory of Laudun is formed of hillside slopes and a plain crossed by a small river. These are two distinct geographic entities. Around the river, the alluvial soils, heavier and richer, produce the Vins de Pays, and the single-varietal wines.

On the slopes, home of the appellations, the soil is poorer. Formed of river-rolled rocks or sand, these lands have always been planted in vineyards. The vines grown on the "bancels" (terraces stepped up against the hills) are protected from the cold brought by the northerly winds, and receive maximal sunshine. |
|
The poor soil offers a low yield but the fewer grapes fill with sun and develop fully their aromatic powers.
It is on this soil that the Villages Laudun wines are cultivated.
