Around the protected massif of La Clape, characterized by unique flora and fauna, vines grow on about 1200 hectares, which gave the AOC its name. Of this, Château Ricardelle cultivates about 45 hectares.

Away from the many flat and sandy soils of the Languedoc, hilly soils are found here, which are particularly interspersed with limestone, boulders and sediment. Especially the AOC wines of Château Ricardelle from the cuvées of

• Syrah
• Grenache Noir and
• Carignan

are among the most awarded in the region, not least due to Pellegrini's many years of experience.
