Created between 1955 and 1960 by Antonin Faravel, this 18 hectare estate is now run by his two sons, Thierry and Gilles. The domaine’s organically run vineyards lie primarily in the high, rocky hills of Les Dentelles de Montmirail with many of the vines now over fifty years old. The soils are poor, made up of thin sandy clay over limestone. The altitude and different orientations aid in a slow maturation of the grapes, with the cooler nights giving plenty of acidity. Thierry, who makes the wines, prefers to ferment whole bunch where possible, believing that the stems help bring more freshness to the wines. Maturation is done in barrel and foudres with an increasing percentage of the latter.
