rephrasing

Probably a question of phrasing and a field specialist might wish to tweak some of the terms but I think I may be able to help with understanding the source text.

"Le vignoble occupe un chapelet complexe de collines allongées du nord au sud en contrebas du relief principal, dominant de 50 mètres à 100 mètres des dépressions de même orientation."

"...dominating (or "which dominate") depressions (or "dips") of the same orientation (or "lying in the same direction", thus N>S) from 50 to 100 metres" (meaning: at a height of).
Note from asker:
Thank you, I think I agree!
Peer comment(s):

agree Tony M : I'd avoid 'dominating', and just say something like "rising some 50–100 m above a number of similarly-aligned hollows"

overlooking/looking out over the depressions from a height of 50m to 100m

Dominant = overlooking etc. for me.
Peer comment(s):

neutral Tony M : I think 'pverlooking' rather over-translates 'dominer' in many contexts, except perhaps tourism / real-estate; and it's not 'the depressions' but 'some depressions', which puts a rather different slant on it...
