Domaine de Piéblanc is an young estate created by wine lover Matthieu Ponson in 2014, at the bottom of the Mont Ventoux. He farms about 40 hectares, in appellations Ventoux, Gigondas, Beaumes de Venise and Cotes-du-Rhone, surrounded by olive trees (with which he produces his own olive oil!). Since 2020, the vineyard is farmed organically. Matthieu's goal is to produce precise and fruity wines, enhancing the sedimentary terroirs on which his vines are growing.
