Anecdotes about the domain

Laurent is sometimes described as a "globetrotting businessman". Today, it is all together at the domain and in a good mood that we make our wines. Thibault and Benoit, Laurent and Christine's sons, have now joined the House and can count on Cyril Tisopulot, the house oenologist, who has been with us for 15 vintages!

The domain's short story

In 1972, Jeanne Brotte, grandmother of Laurent Brotte, current owner and manager of the BROTTE House, created the Wine Museum, originally a museum of old winegrower's tools. She collects them from the winegrowers of the region, among the oldest, a barrel of 4000 liters of the 14th century, a press of the 16th century... She is passionate about gastronomy and wine. She runs the restaurant La Mule du Pape in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Jeanne Brotte is a pioneer of wine tourism ... In 2002, under the impetus of Laurent Brotte, who is keen to share his passion for wine with the general public, the Museum is enlarged and acquires a complete educational dimension by revealing the development of wine through photos and textsIn 2014, the Wine Museum is renovated and takes its present contemporary form.

The winemaker's pride

The Brotte family is the story of 5 generations of Châteauneuf-du-Pape winegrowers.
