The
thirty hectares owned by the château are 98% classified in AC, of which
70% in AC Côtes du Rhône Villages. In 2004, the INAO (french institut of
appellations) recognized the exceptionnal terroir and gave the area a new
classification : AC Côtes du Rhône Villages Signargues (from the name of
the Plateau).
Our chateau is composed of land divided into parcels around the village of Domazan,
ranging from the Plateau of Signargues (round stones), to the Théziers
Valley. This is HAUT MUSIEL Amphitheatre. The round stones keep water
underground and give the plant heat back during the night, both of which
give our wines a true quality.« The area between Avignon and Pont du
Gard includes two prime sources of Côtes du Rhône Estézargues and Domazan» (DECANTER, Mars 2004).
Our
vineyards are planted with Shyraz, Granacha, Carignan and Counoise grapes.
This rich diversity enables us to cultivate complex wines, resonating with
the flavours of the land on which vines prosper. Each parcel has its own
specificity of grape variety, sun and wind orientation, humidity rate and
type of soil.
