L'Oustal Blanc

Our story

The adventure began when Claude sold his estate in the Côtes du Ventoux (Château Valcombe) to relocate to his native Languedoc.

Moreover, in homage to her, who allowed us to realize our dreams and ourselves, we called the Domaine Maison Blanche in Occitan: "L'Oustal Blanc". We make our dream come true every day: vinify in a cellar dating back to 1907, find plots of old vines more than 60 years old in native varieties (grenache noir, grenache gris, carignan and cinsault).

However, our common passion comes from different sources. For Claude, it was his grandfather, already a winegrower in Languedoc, who passed on Bacchus' gift to him. For Isabel, nothing predestined her to become a winegrower, except a picture of her at 13 in Bissau, Africa, where she already proudly wore earrings in the shape of grape bunches. Fate as they say! Different wine origins therefore, but decisive common encounters such as those with Bruno Quenioux, great sommelier chef passionately transmitting his love for wine, or with Jean-Pierre Boisson (if not a predestined name), president of the Rugby club in Château-Neuf-Du-Pape.
