About

On the heights of « Clavin » and at the northern limit of  Chateauneuf du Pape, the estate was born in the 17th century.

Today, this old vines vineyard’s of 20 hectares (50 acres), in one single bloc, shares out between red Châteauneuf du Pape « les Trois Sources », red Châteauneuf du Pape «les Hauts-lieux» and red and white Côtes du Rhône « Clavin ».

The north facing terroir of slopes * and its microclimate gives to this unique location a special ability, remaining very well adapted to the extreme current climatic conditions  of the southern Rhône Valley and producing singular, harmonious

and balanced wines.

​

From  generation to generation, terroirs are benefiting from the greatest  respect and the vigneron, who remains attentive and sensitive,  perpetuates the good practices and the « good sense of the farmer ».

All  the traditional and original grape-varieties are selected, reproduced  and planted using complantation (different kind of grape-varieties mixed  in

the same plot). Harvests entirely done by hands allow a first selection in the vineyard and a second selection when the grapes (transported in small boxes), arrive at the winery.

​

The  vinification continues to be traditional and the fermentation is  natural, without any addition. The priceless natural yeasts located in  the pruine (berry), reveals both singularity of each terroirs and single  expression for each vintage.

Following  a long and slow fermentation, wines are drained away in foudre (large  oak barrels). Then, after 18 months aging, the bottling is done without fining and filtering.
