Domaine l'Ancienne Cure - Winery

The History of Domaine L’Ancienne Cure

Domaine l’Ancienne Cure is located in the heart of Colombier, a small village in the wine region Bergerac in France. In 1946, Hélène and Gaston Roche bought the former presbytery of Colombier and created a wine tasting cellar in 1968. Their love for wines and plants motivated the family to grow vines. Now, the fifth generation is cultivating the vines. In 1984, Christian Roche inherited the part of the property. Five years later, he built the winery to become an independent winemaker and producer of quality yet natural wines. He started fundamental practices to produce the best wines in the region. Christian Roche converted the entire property at Domaine l’Ancienne Cure to organic farming to keep the best and richest flavors of terroir in the wines.
