The domain's short story
Our family estate in the Rhone Valley has a history of several centuries. We have been winemakers from father to son for 6 generations, this passion has always been passed on. We still have a bottle dated 1877! As far back as we can remember, our family has always worked in the farming world, mostly on a small scale and in multiculture. The planting of new plots of vines to enlarge the domain and the abandonment of other production, in order to concentrate efforts on the creation of the direct sales cellar is the work of Gérard Castor, a great actor of the farming world and very invested in the domain, which has earned it its letters of nobility, becoming a reference. After nearly 40 years of development Gérard Castor is joined by his sons, Jérémie and Raphaël, the 6th generation, on the estate. Both of them studied viticulture and oenology, and then made their mark. After a professional degree in Management and Marketing, Jérémie left to work for 8 months in a winery in California. Raphaël continued with a degree in oenotourism and will return to the domain after this one. Today, we, Jérémie and Raphaël are at the head of the domain, with the objective of producing wines of ever better quality by combining today's challenges with ancestral traditions!
