Domaine de Crémone

We have a deep respect for our lands and vines, for example, the grenaches from our Rasteau vintage are from 1953, we take great care of them, I must say that it is almost love we feel for them. They are not clones and it shows because each vine is different. when you look at the arms, they are very tortuous, as if they had suffered to grow. we have no mortality in these vines, we are very lucky to have them. We do not use any chemicals in our vines, we have not put any fertilizers or amendments in place yet, and we are starting this year with an agronomist to analyze our soils and follow us through all the steps to move towards biodynamics. Half of our vineyard is exposed North West and on hillsides, which gives us a freshness that we have less with southern exposure. In 2015, we reintegrated our vineyard by selling the distant and plain vines to acquire vines on the hillsides.

Our story

The estate was created by Patrice, the father and Thomas Barbieri, the son, in June 2013 with the purchase of vines from several winegrowers in Rasteau and Cairanne at the foot of Mont Ventoux. The family estate has very beautiful hillside plots on Rasteau where there are 10 hectares of vines with a north-west exposure and 7 hectares on Cairanne. The significant proportion of old vines allows them to produce authentic wines with character.
