The family owns over 135 hectares of vines across the valley, securing the highest quality grapes from a variety of Southern Rhone soils, including 25 hectares of Chateaneuf du Pape. Benoît and Fredéric also work with many independent growers, allowing them to select the best quality fruit from various terroirs.
