has a long history dating back some 200 years. The first bottling at the place was
done in the 1980ties. The owners today are Sabine and Nick Thompson. Nick, an
Englishman, had
an uncle who was Master of Wine and who gave him some inspiration and interest
in wine. In London, he as a young man met a French girl, Sabine, grand-daughter of a
wine grower in Cairanne. Not surprisingly the young couple moved to France. They
both followed courses at the wine school in Beaune and then Sabine's grandfather
offered them the job as managers of his domain. After the grandfather's death, in
1991, they bought part of the domain from the heirs.
Today the domain covers 50 ha. 18,5 ha. lie outside the appellation boundaries and the
wine from here is Vin du Pays.
A part of the production is sold to negociant (Meffre and Guigal). Cotes du Rhone Villages Cairanne
