The wines of this appellation are made from vines grown in
certain fields in the five communes: Chusclan, Orsan, Codolet, Bagnols-sur-Cèze or
Saint-Etienne-des-Sorts.
There have been 4 cooperatives in the 5
communes. Since 2011 only two has survived thanks to a merger
between them in 2008. Laudun Chusclan Vignerons.
Each of the two cooperatives have own cellar and own caveau but
there is only one president, one winemaker and one body of
administration.
A devellopment seen in several areas where producers leave the
cooperative and start their own domain has so far not taken place
in the communes in AOP Cotes du Rhone Village Chusclan.
At this website only one private producer situated inside the 5
communes is presented,
Chateau Signac.
