Our partner wine growers agreed to take part in a relaxed photo shoot. For all those who work all year round in their vineyard, taking care of it, preserving it, and helping it to grow and blossom… For all those who help us, vintage after vintage, after year to create indulgent, fresh and elegant wines.

We decided to pay tribute to them during an informal gathering, on their estate, in their home, with the tools of their craft. They were invited to bring along their favourite object to give us an insight into the life of a winegrower… Thank you all!

Our partner winegrowers agreed to take part in a relaxed photo shoot to allow us to get to know them better. The first portrait of our sequence “Partner Winegrowers” is that of a lady, FRANÇOISE REY.
Today this energetic lady has imprinted her style at the Domaine Rey estate. She puts the well-being of her teams first because, for her it is more than just a winemaking adventure, it is above all a human adventure. She likes to capture her land, her region, and her vineyard on film to write her own new chapter of this great family saga that has already lasted 3 generations…

TASTING BY ANDREAS LARSSON

Tasting by Andreas Larsson best sommelier in the world 2007
Note = 90 points.

After a colder winter than in recent years (but more normal for the season), spring was hot but rainy with occasional cold spells. This recharged the soil’s water reserves which was good for vine growth. We are almost 10 days ahead compared to an average year.
The flowering is underway and we are expecting it to be a good year but we need to keep a close eye on the maturity in August before being able to talk about the quality of the vintage. Patience is a virtue…

Richard Bernard used to be sommelier in the restaurant of the Saint James Hotel, near Bordeaux. He is the first to have received the double title of best young sommelier in France and best sommelier in France in the same year.

And yet he is humble and approachable, with a great memory for detail which is very useful in his job. He has been working for many years now with the Maison Ginestet (Taillan Group).

Richard accepted our invitation to taste our wines… a first experience that we hope will be followed by others. On this occasion he tasted the new Signature Châteauneuf du Pape and Côtes du Rhône wines and was very complimentary about their quality…

Le Vieux Castillon is a 4 stars hotel-restaurant in the very heart of Castillon du Gard.

A very charming hotel to offer you out of the time meals inside this place ideal to relax and enjoy.

The « BISTRONOMIC” Restaurant, with a great vineyards view, delivers a refined and authentic cuisine, perfect to pair with the Signature cuvee Vignobles & Compagnie.
