You will not find a village or at least a "hameau" named Sinargues. It's a plateau situated between four communes, Domazan, Estézargues, Rochefort-du-Gard and Saze.
The rules for the use of grapes, le
encépagement, is like other Village-appellations: At least 50% Grenache,
At least 20% Syrah or Mourvedre and not more than 20% other varieties. If you look at the figures below it's obvious that one of the smallest
villages, Domazan, has the most private producers. It's a tradition for
the winegrowers in Domazan to sell a part of the wines to a negociant,
sometimes more than 90%. It's also normal, that a domain has quite many
hectares and therefore it's not that easy to sell all the crop which until
2005 was "only" Cotes du Rhone Village and now with a name
(Signargues) which might not be familiar to the main part of the consumers
around the world.
The potentiel area of the appellation is
not known by the publisher of this site, but as you can see below it's
more than 500 hectares. Declared area and yield 2006-2010 |
