The Richeaume Wine Estate: A Commitment to Biodynamic Practices

Located in the picturesque Provence region, Domaine Richeaume has been dedicated to biodynamic farming since 1972. Founded by Henning Hoesch and his wife, Julia, the estate spans 65 hectares between Puyloubier and Rousset. Here, vineyards, grain fields, and olive groves flourish under strict ecological guidelines. The winery prioritizes natural and biological production, focusing on quality over conventional AOC regulations. To create the wine cellar, Henning collaborated with renowned Italian architect Carlo Scarpa and Jean Tchepitchian, ensuring a space that reflects their commitment to the environment.

Unique Terroir of Mont Sainte Victoire

The Mont Sainte Victoire mountain provides a distinctive microclimate that benefits the estate's vineyards. Its red soil, ideal for natural fertilization, nurtures high-quality grapes. The winery employs solar energy and temperature-regulating water tanks to minimize environmental impact. By intentionally lowering yields, Domaine Richeaume ensures that only the best grapes are harvested. The estate cultivates a variety of grapes, including Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Grenache, Merlot, Grenache Blanc, Rol, Viognier, and Sauvignon Blanc. Each grape is handpicked, and vinification occurs naturally in the cellar without chemical additives, resulting in exceptional organic red, white, and rosé wines.

FAVORITE OF THE DAY Domaine RICHEAUME in the Montagne Sainte Victoire sector; Purity and aromatic finesse on the nose across the entire range. Silky mouthfeel, long and pleasant with a very nice finish. A very nice discovery!!!!

Beautiful setting. Winery was closed so we were unable to taste the wine. Four stars for location and the vineyards and olive trees.

Great welcome from Clara and tasting of the different vintages then a stroll around the estate. A very good time and very good wines. We leave with a full trunk and bottles of olive oil. A word of advice, call and make an appointment, it changes everything for everyone! Thank you for your welcome and your professionalism! See you soon

Today, an unannounced visit to the winery, a great welcome from the oenologist Pascal (at work), an exceptional character who really knows what he's talking about. He took the time to introduce me to the winery and the wines. The wine "les terrasses" is a marvel of great mastery. I thank him for his time and knowledge. Pascal is one of the most important and interesting meetings in the wine sector this year. Thank you again!!!

Stumbled upon this beautiful and tranquil winery with excellent hospitality. The tasting consisted of multiple varieties from grenache to sryah and a limited release of the rosé. The reds which they are known for were spectacular. Make sure to explore the zen pond above the winery in which regulates the temperature below. Definitely will be buying many of their wines when I get stateside. Merci!
