Meet the Winemaker
Marcel Richaud was only 17 when he took over the family estate in 1974. His children Thomas and Claire work at his side, perpetuating the family tradition. They have been a real driving force behind the Cairanne appellation to set stricter rules and improve the overall quality of the wines.
In the Vineyard & Cellar
The mosaic of terroirs and grape varieties present on the estate bear witness to the intricate work carried out by the Richaud family in the making of their wines. The old vines are farmed using organic practices, and the low yields result in grapes with maximum aromatic concentration. In the cellar, interventions are minimized as much as possible in order to let the wine unabashedly express itself.
