The estate

Here, the vines root among stones that the Rhône rolled smooth two million years ago. By day they soak up the sun; by night they give the warmth back to the grapes.

Three generations have farmed these thirty‑eight hectares (94 acres) between Nîmes and the Camargue. Syrah, grenache, mourvèdre and roussanne ripen here in the sun, swept by the mistral wind.

We open our cellar to anyone who wants to understand where the taste of a wine comes from: the soil, the climate, then the hand. Hélène and Mathieu, the third generation, will welcome you themselves.

Every tour ends in our tasting room, where our wines are sold at cellar‑door prices.

A vaulted cellar with rows of barrels on both sides.

Cellar tour

The cellar, then five wines

Walk down with us to the cellar, among the barrels where our reds are aged, then taste five wines in the tasting room: our roussanne, the rosé and three reds, up to our Cuvée 1931.
