Founded in 1974 by Alain and his father, the domaine sits at high altitude in the Côtes du Vivarais, the gateway to the Southern Rhône Valley. The hills run parallel to the Ardèche River, opposite the Côtes-du-Rhône appellation.
Today, Alain works alongside his son, David-Alexandre, cultivating 15 hectares of wild, stony vineyards organically, aided by their loyal draft horse. Their dream is to create some of the greatest wines of the Southern Rhône, guided by determination, focus, and inspiration drawn from winemakers across France.
Freshness of the fruit is paramount.
Grapes are loaded directly into fermentation tanks via top-loading hatch doors, bypassing the cellar, where they ferment for twenty days. Wines are then aged in Burgundian oak barrels, chosen for their squat shape which enhances finesse and allows the lees to settle naturally. The wines are bottled without fining or filtration to preserve authenticity.
