Established in 1960, this 60-hectare family estate is located in the heart of the Cairanne appellation. At just 17, Marcel took over his parents' legacy, leaving the cooperative to follow his own creative vision. Today, he runs the domaine with the help of his son, Thomas, and daughter, Claire. In the 1980s, Marcel expanded the estate by acquiring 3 hectares on the Ebrescade terroir, where old vines are planted on sediment, marl, and small stones from the Rasteau Massif at 250 meters in altitude.
