Romain Roches' father Marcel Roche owns 50
ha. of vineyards in Cairanne. He was until 2005 the president of the
co-operative and of course he delivers the grapes there.
The young Romain wanted to have an education so that he could make the
wines himself. At first he got a BTS from the wine school in Beaune,
then some commercial education and finished with a full oenological
education from the university in Toulouse.
As a part of his training he went to USA and Australia. He worked for a
period at
Chateau Paradis in Provence and here he met Philippe Cambie who he uses as an
advisor
From 2009 Marcel Roche has rented 15 ha. to his son, and Romain
has been making his first vintage in 2009.
The wines have been made in a rented cellar which has been out of use
for a period but after installing of some steel tanks this cellar might
be used for some years until there is money available for building a new
celler at La Bousquette
The vines at the 15 ha. has an average
age of 50 years. A single parcel is 120 years old.
