ABOUT THE ESTATE

covered with siliceous pebbles rolled by the Rhône river in the ancient geological past, which is called, in the language of insiders, a Villafranchienne terrace!

A very southern location in the Côtes-du- Rhône area, since certain plots on the estate determine its southern border.
Though they are extremely exposed to the sun, to the wind (Mistral), to rare or violent rains, to extreme temperatures in summer but also in winter, all of which being harsh conditions for wine growing, our vine-yards nevertheless adapt to give grapes rich in flavors and character!
Moreover, mindful of our impact on the environment, we have always practiced a sustainable agriculture, and have

Un ensoleillement maximum, une exposition sans barrière au mistral, des pluies rares ou violentes, des températures extrêmes en été mais aussi parfois en hiver ! De rudes conditions pour la vigne… qui arrive malgré tout à s’y adapter pour donner des raisins riches en saveurs et en caractère !

Part ailleurs, soucieux de notre impact environnemental, nous avons toujours pratiqué une agriculture raisonnée, et avons réuni les conditions du label Haute Valeur Environnementale niveau 3, pour lequel nous sommes certifiés…

“A day without wine
is a day without sunshine.”
