Domaine de Vénus

Other little stories

No good wine without a very beautiful grape. Laurent Abet, our vineyard manager, patiently works on our altitude slopes to obtain the best grapes possible. He led the conversion of the estate to organic farming. The 2019 vintage is the first 100% organic harvest on the estate.
If Laurent is in the vineyard, Nathalie, his wife, is in the cellar. Its objective: to vinify without too much intervention, with little extraction (generally one pumping over per day on the
reds).
Our goal is to produce wines that are generous but never heavy. Because we often tend to drink wines that are too young, Domaine de Vénus has chosen to offer wines that are ready to drink. Our specificity is to practice long maturing in the bottle, when our high altitude terroir begins to impregnate the wine.
