We are implanted in Camaret-sur-Aigues, to the north east of Orange, in the zone of Rasteau. François Moricelly represents the fourth generation managing the family-owned vineyard, where cultivating vines is an integral part of the history of the estate.

Presentation
In Provencal “Grand Destré” means “Large press”: this wine press is still present on the estate. In between the two wars, it was used by François Moricelly’s great grandfather to press grapes. The non fermented sparkling juice (bourru wine) was then immediately sold to restaurants in Lyon (bouchons) just before the arrival of the new wines.
