Lirac and Tavel to the south are the only AOP areas on the west bank of the southern Rhone. The vineyards of the two areas share, at Roquemaure, the last hills of the Garrigues, a mountainous area dating back to the Cretaceous period.

The wine-growing zone, which currently covers about 700 hectares, is one of the oldest in France; vines were already grown here 2000 years ago. The wines of the region achieved fame especially during the Avignonese papacy and beyond until the 16th century.
