Domaine des Evigneaux

The Les Évigneaux estate spans 10 hectares in Rasteau, a charming village in the southern Rhône Valley. This estate, comprising 12 plots, was founded in 2014 by Benoit and Frédéric Lavau. They recognized the exceptional exposure of the land—particularly for Syrah and Grenache—as ideal for crafting a wine that fully expresses the complexity and power of this terroir. Perched on a hill facing the Dentelles de Montmirail, the rugged terrain of the Rasteau vineyard offers a wide variety of soils and a vibrant landscape. From one terrace to the next, as the slopes wind their way down, the soil transitions from clay-limestone to blue marl, and from rounded pebbles to red marl. 

With more than fifteen plots spread throughout the Rasteau appellation, the Les Evigneaux estate takes full advantage of this geological diversity, which has earned this Rhône Valley cru its reputation.
