The winemaker's pride
A typical 12th century Languedoc farmhouse whose stones are steeped in history, the former property of the Lord of Claret, the Domaine de Villeneuve was already known for its wine in 1734. Old vat rooms testify to this, as does the name of the hamlet of Les Embruscalles, which takes its name from "Lambrusques", the wild vines. In 2005, Anne-Lise, winegrower, took over the family torch in a quest for excellence to reveal the best of her terroir. Passionate, she brings her stone to the edifice with new vintages: the Happy Culteur, the Muse, the Chant des Roches, the Fol'Envie and the Diamant Rouge, many times medalled at the Mâcon wine competitions, at the Féminalises and in the Guide Hachette.
