Rhône Organic Wine & Vitipastoral Tasting Experience

Welcome to Domaine de la Tourade, located in the beautiful Gigondas region, at the foot of the breathtaking Dentelles de Montmirail. This family-owned estate has been lovingly maintained through generations, reflecting a strong commitment to winemaking and sustainable practices. As we complete our final year of organic conversion, we prioritize environmental care and sustainable agriculture.

Our dedication to organic farming is central to our mission. This transition not only boosts biodiversity but also enhances soil health, allowing our vineyards to thrive naturally. By adopting organic methods, we support a healthier ecosystem and produce wines that truly express the character of our land.

One of our unique practices is vitipastoralism, an ancient technique that involves using flocks of sheep to manage the vineyard. These sheep graze on unwanted plants and naturally fertilize the soil, reducing the need for chemical inputs. This symbiotic relationship between livestock and vines highlights our commitment to integrated and sustainable agriculture.

The wines from Domaine de la Tourade reflect our exceptional terroir and the careful attention we give to every stage of production. Influenced by the Dentelles de Montmirail, our vintages are known for their finesse, elegance, and rich aromas. Each bottle embodies a blend of tradition and modern ecological practices, ensuring both quality and sustainability.

At Domaine de la Tourade, Fred and Virginie have built more than just a winery; they have nurtured a living heritage. Here, the love for the vine and respect for the land are honored and passed down with pride, making every visit a memorable experience.
