Les Dentelles de Montmirail are vertical jagged outcroppings of white Jurassic limestone which rise behind the wine village of Gigondas. This geological anomaly is visible for kilometres and is a landmark in the southern Rhône Valley.

The outcroppings are named after the French word for ‘lace.’ While they look solid, in fact they are so thin that in places holes pierce the limestone so that hikers can look through and into the next valley.
