History
The appellation grew around the 14th-century papal presence in nearby Avignon; the château’s ruins gave the village its name and long association with wine cultivation.
Conservation
Many local producers practice organic or biodynamic viticulture to protect soil health; visitors are asked to respect private vines, minimize waste and avoid disturbing wildlife.
