"Arlène
Libby and Norge Larson are the proud owners of Château Bois d´Arlène. They
divide their lives between Vacqueyras and Seattle, traveling from one continent
to another as regularly as possible. In Seattle, Arlène has
a brilliant career in the hospital environment, and Norge is a renowned
physicist and oceanographer. Twenty years ago now, they came
to the region for the first time, and fell head over heels in love with it.
They then met the Bernard family, who, with great generosity,
introduced them to this unique terroir which produces high quality wines.
After many holidays spent in Vacqueyras, it is quite natural that
they wanted to settle in the region, to feel a little more at home and finally put their bags down.
The property covers 18 ha of which 10 ha. are in production
of AOP Vacqueyras or IGP. Until 2018 the wines were made at Domaine
la Ligière,
New cellars were ready for the harvest of 2019. Philippe Bernard
from la Ligiere still makes the wines but now in the domain's
own cellar.
Since 2019 the vineyards have been certified agriculture biologique.
