About the domain :
The interior chapel and pergola of this Tuscan-style bastide are reminders that the estate belonged to an Italian prelate in the 16th century. In 2009, Jean-Pierre Valade, an international consultant in oenology, and Éric Petitjean took over the estate and its 33 hectares of organic vineyards (Beaumes-de-venise, Ventoux and Gigondas).
