Based in the southern Rhône Valley near the city of Orange, our estate extends over 45 hectares of vine. The plots are located around the Château and scattered across the Chateauneuf du Pape appellation. This allows us to exploit the three main soil types of Chateauneuf du Pape namely sands, Urgonian limestones, and rounded pebbles, each with its own very particular profile. Due to this geological diversity, we can produce a variety of wines ranging from the light and fruity, to the opulent and traditional, to the elegant and velvety.
Although we have a long established custom of blending our grapes, we have recently ventured into single vineyard, mono-varietal wines in order to enhance the expression of our exceptional Terroir. We age our wines accordingly, making use of old oak barrels, introducing smoothness and elegance to the Grenache's fruitiness.
