Nestled in the northern part of the Southern Rhône Valley, the Côtes du Rhône Villages Visan appellation offers a rich diversity of terroirs and landscapes. Here, we cultivate the region's essential grape varieties: Grenache at the heart of our blends, Syrah, Mourvèdre and Carignan to temper and enhance aromas, Cinsaut to spice up our wines, and finally Viognier and Marsanne.

Presentation
Situated at an altitude of 180 metres, the estate is surrounded by the hills and mountains that make the landscape of this region so attractive: to the south, the city of the Popes and the Dentelles de Montmirail, to the west, the valley of Nyons, or the theater of Vaison la Romaine. Today, the Domaine extends over 35 hectares around the village of Visan, one of the communes to have obtained the A.O.C. Côtes du Rhône Villages label as early as 1962. The 30-hectare vineyard is made up of a 15-hectare family plot near the historic farm, an 8-hectare plot on garrigue soils, and 7 hectares of smaller hillside plots close to the woods around the village.
