A vineyard, the people, an AOP
Domain Saint Firmin
Prestigious wines crafted on exceptional terroir
Independent winemakers Robert, Didier, and Guillaume BLANC share a passion for wine and pride in their land.
Their vineyard is nestled in the heart of the city of Uzès, the first Duchy of France. It’s here, near the Uzès garrigue, their vines thrive, bathed in sunlight and nourished by the Cévennes rains.
At Domain Saint Firmin,
The AOP Duché d’Uzès
Established in 2012, this AOP was granted to the Duché d’Uzès terroir after 25 years of rigorous development. This recognition by the INAO (National Institute of Origin and Quality) allowed the winegrowers’ association to celebrate the hard work accomplished by all.
The AOP encompasses 77 municipalities, extending from the edge of the Rhône Valley to the foothills of the Cévennes, bounded by the Gardon River to the south and the Cèze River to the north.
The Winegrowers’ Association of the Duché d’Uzès
The association promotes the AOP Duché d’Uzès on a local, national and international level through media outreach and iconic events such as wine fairs, truffle weekends, and the “Vin Côté Cour” gastronomic walk.
Vin Côté Cour
It’s a magnificent gourmet stroll featuring wine tastings paired with dishes prepared by Michelin-starred chefs. This annual event focuses on food and wine pairing—a wonderful opportunity to (re)discover the heritage and gastronomy of the Uzège region. The walk passes through villages selected for their architectural charm and highlights the white summer truffle (Tuber aestivum).
The black truffle and Uzès
On the third Friday of January, we celebrate the black truffle (Tuber melanosporum). Twenty winegrowers present their wines paired with truffle-based dishes. The Uzège terroir—with its hot summers, mild winters, and clay-limestone soils populated by holm and white oaks—is perfect for black truffles.
Black truffles are available at the Uzès market from December to early March.

Uzès: A Rich Agricultural Land
The Uzège region, thanks to the richness of its soil, allows the cultivation of vineyards, olive groves, and much more. Cherry and apricot trees abound, alongside asparagus and cantaloupe melons.
The gastronomy of Uzès will be the sweet touch to enhance your stay in our magnificent city.
