Famille De Boel France

Our estate is based in Lemps, on the heights of Tournon sur Rhône. We have 11Ha between the northern Rhone in St Joseph, Cornas, igp Collines Rhodaniennes, and southern Rhone in Côtes du Rhône Villages Ste Cécile and Massif d'Uchaux (our southern nugget), Côtes du Rhône, igp Méditerranée. We produce classic Rhone grape varieties such as Syrah, Grenache, Carignan, or Marsanne in white and more incongruous ones such as Caladoc in rosé and red. Having vineyards in the north and south of the Rhône allows us a superb diversity of terroirs, in climates and soils between granite, blue marl, sandstone, silico-calcareous sandstone and flint (unique in the Rhône!). All this diversity, worked in organic and biodynamic methods to protect our land and make lively and vibrant wines, offers us an incredible playground for exploration.

Our story

Nelly FRANCE coming from Brittany and Arnaud DE BOEL from Belgium, we have (unfortunately) not inherited any vineyards, so we have to create everything from scratch. To create everything from scratch is to buy a bucket of grapes, from the vat to the land and the cellar! And it is also the possibility to plant land and to work it 'cleanly' from the beginning. In any case, it's the beautiful daily challenges that drive us! After 15 years working for other estates in France and abroad, we started planting our first vines in 2016 in the Northern Rhône. Luckily (and we need some!), we have also been able to acquire plots of old vines in the Southern Rhône.
