MONTS & COTEAUX DU LYONNAIS
A terroir that guarantees quality
Located in the north of the Rhône Valley, between Lyon and Saint-Etienne, the 570 hectares of orchards of the SICOLY cooperative members extend over the Rhône territory (Coteaux et Monts du Lyonnais) and the neighbouring departments, at an altitude of between 200 and 1000 m, within a radius of 50 km around the cooperative.
Thanks to a terroir conducive to the cultivation of fruit due to its south/south-east exposure, its rich soil and its varied relief, the cooperative members grow and harvest 8,000 tonnes of very high quality fruit each year, with certain specialities such as cherries, apples, pears and red fruits.
