The production of wine in Laudun dates back to ancient times. Dominating the vineyards, a large pleateau known as the "Camp de Cesar" boasts an impressive site of Roman ruins. The archeological digs untertaken there have unearthed artifacts attesting to the cultivation of grape vines in Laudun at that early date. |

| Several areas of the Laudun territory, such as one called "Saint Denis" (Dionysos), still tell of the Roman god of pleasure and wine. Later, Olivier de Serres mentioned the vineyards of Laudun and, in 1770-80, the maps of Cassini, royal geographer, again spoke of the Laudun grape vines. |

From antiquity to today, without interruption, grape vines have grown on the terraces of the village of Laudun and generation after generation of vinegrowers have passed their skills down through time so that today, the flavor of the Laudun wines still sings in our glasses.
Although today the tools are more sophisticated, and the laboratories and new techniques a precious help, nothing is more important than the harmony between the right soil and the grape vines growing in it, than the love that the vinegrowers maintain for their work, than the subtle mixture of soil, sky, sun and wind that is the basis of the great wines of Cotes du Rhone Villages Laudun. |
