Perched above the Ouvèze Valley in the Vaucluse, Séguret commands sweeping views of the Rhône landscape. Its name—derived from the Latin Securus, “the fortress”—harks back to its medieval castle, while a 1685 wine brotherhood led by a female “bailleresse” underscores the village’s long viticultural pedigree. Officially elevated to Côtes du Rhône Villages status in 1967, Séguret has since carved out a reputation for ripe, refined wines.
Spanning 682 hectares of vines, Séguret caps its yields at 31 hl/ha, producing just under 6,000 hl annually. This measured volume ensures concentrated character and underpins the appellation’s growing profile among Rhône enthusiasts.
At the foot of the Montmirail hills—foothills of the northern Alps—the vineyards sit on terraced slopes of clay‑limestone punctuated by sun‑warmed galets roulés. A classic Mediterranean climate delivers hot, dry summers tempered by 200 days of Mistral each year, keeping grapes healthy, thickening skins and locking in freshness.
Reds and rosés are built around Grenache Noir and Syrah, with Mourvèdre adding structure; Carignan, Cinsault and Grenache Gris contribute spice and lift. Whites and rosés draw on Roussanne, Marsanne, Clairette, Grenache Blanc, Bourboulenc and Viognier, though red wines dominate plantings.
Séguret reds marry generous fruit weight with fine, supple tannins and a mineral undercurrent from the limestone soils. Rosés showcase bright berry aromas and crisp acidity, while limited white bottlings impress with fresh, floral notes and vibrant texture.
Rooted in history yet forward‑looking by design, Côtes du Rhône Villages Séguret combines its sun‑baked terroir, disciplined yields and Mistral‑cooled vines to deliver wines of authenticity and finesse.
