Mas du Chêne

We are currently working "organically" on 10 hectares and are gradually returning to the farming methods of our ancestors (abandonment of chemical products, working the soil, crushing the wood...) as indicated by our "Marche arrière" vintage. In the south of the Costières de Nîmes, the estate covers 64 hectares, of which 50 hectares are dedicated to the cultivation of vines and 14 hectares are composed of woods, hedges and olive trees which contribute directly to the balance of the terroir.

Soils of rolled pebbles allow water to infiltrate directly into the pebble layer and form a discontinuous water table. The vines thus have access to a regular supply of water, which prevents summer drought and gives a very varied grape variety. All these advantages allow us to offer many single-variety vintages: Syrah, Grenache, Carignan, Merlot, Alicante, Cinsault and Sangiovese.

Our story

In 1915, Frédéric Coste bequeathed 36 hectares of vines to his daughter and her husband, Arthur Delon. This is the beginning of a great evolution since over the generations, the vineyard has grown by more than 30 hectares. From 1915 to 1999, my ancestors; Raoul, Philippe and Nicole Soyris Delon, my mother, all participated in the expansion of the estate. I then decided to take over and continue the family adventure, it was in 2008 that my husband decided to leave his profession as a wine merchant to join me. The result of this union, in addition to our two daughters, will be 11 vintages, most of which will be grown in mono-varietal and organic varieties.
