THE COMPANY

Founded in 2008 by Pierre-Henri Morel and Michel Chapoutier, of which, for 7 years, was the right-hand man at the helm of the legendary Domaine of Tain-l’Hermitage, this little gem of only 4 hectares in the south of the Rhone Valley became immediately part of the icons of ChĂ¢teauneuf du-Pape. Vineyards of almost fifty years in the areas of Pignan, Bois Dauphin and Barbe d’Asne which first were part of a Domaine at Route d’Orange and bought by the two founders to give life to a project aimed mainly at safeguarding of the Grenache. From the Luberon to the Chäteauneuf, passing through the Gigondas: fine, elegant and mineral wines, perfect ambassadors of their terroirs.

France - 

Vallée du Rhône

South

Chateauneuf-du-Pape is the most renowned center of the southern Rhône, north of Avignon, and stands on hills dominated by the ruins of a papal summer residence. Grenache grapes are the backbone of the AOC, often in association with mourvèdre grapes that need warm weather to ripen and syrah along with cinsault and other local varieties. The cliché for Chateauneuf-du-Pape is galet, the rounded heat-absorbing stone found almost exclusively in some local vineyards, although in reality the soils in this area are very varied, some with high proportions of clay.
