(07) Ardèche

The estate's vineyards are located in the valley of Alba la Romaine, an ancient city of Aps that has been producing wine for 2000 years. The vineyards are located on either side of the Escoutay river, and all the emblematic grape varieties of the region are at home here. We traditionally vinify Merlot, Syrah, Grenache and Cabernet Sauvignon for the reds, and Viognier, Chardonnay, and Sauvignon Blanc for the whites. We took over the winemaking less than 20 years ago, so it's an old estate with a young cellar full of desire and ambition. Our first desire is to make wines that are representative of this thousand year old terroir and of its rich and modest inhabitants at the same time. For a year now we have been reasoning about the use of products on our vines, always choosing the cleanest possible ones and maximising the use of products used in Organic Agriculture. The quality of human work is irreplaceable, which is why all our vines are pruned and de-stemmed by hand.

Our story

The historical cellar of the Boyer family, abandoned during the 20th century in favour of the cooperative cellar, was rehabilitated at the end of the 1990s. To be independent winegrowers is to value an ancestral know-how that resists standardization. We have chosen to create our wines so that the vines handed down from generation to generation can express all the character that we instil in them from planting to harvesting. Today we are proud to present our wines in the heart of the estate where they were born.

Other little stories

In parallel with our activity as winegrowers, we are also nurserymen, we work on about ten grafting stocks and many grafting varieties. This double activity allows us to ensure optimal quality for our own plantations and an uninterrupted production chain from plant to bottle. You can follow the specific steps of the nursery on our news feed. See you soon.
