It took an intrepid group of outsiders to realize the potential of this jejune landscape and the first pioneer was René Barbier, who arrived from Gigondas in 1979. Conditions must have been difficult, but two things inspired them. Firstly, the plethora of ancient vines, in particular Garnacha, Cariñena (a.k.a. Carignan) and Cabernet Sauvignon. Secondly, the infertile terrain with a dusting of organic matter, guaranteeing that vines would struggle and bear fruit whose quality would make their venture worthwhile. - Neal Martin, Wine Advocate
