Founded in 2008 by Pierre-Henri Morel with Michel Chapoutier, of whom he was the right-hand man for 7 years at the helm of the legendary Domaine of Tain-l'Hermitage, this little jewel of only 4 hectares in the south of the Rhône Valley is immediately joined the icons of the Châteauneuf du-Pape. Vineyards of almost fifty years in the areas of Pignan, Bois Dauphin and Barbe d'Asne which were first part of a Domaine in Route d'Orange and purchased from the two founders to give life to a project aimed above all at safeguarding Grenache. Great attention to the vineyard, meticulous management of the grapes but above all respect for the Territory. Fine, elegant, mineral wines, perfect ambassadors of their Terroir.
