Domaine Montirius
At Montirius, biodynamic viticulture has been practiced for 25 years. In fact, they were the first vineyards certified biodynamic in the appellations of Gigondas and Vacqueyras. Christine and Eric, who named the estate after their children, want to let the terroir speak for itself by limiting interventions in the cellar and in the vineyard.

Meet the Winemaker
Montirius gathers women and men who are passionate about their work. Eric and his entire family are committed to integrating sustainability in all parts of the estate, from the development of unique natural corks to the construction of their own eco-friendly cellar.
In the Vineyard & Cellar
Eric and Christine gradually brought their vineyards up to the highest standard, moving early into biodynamics and building their own cellar at the beginning of the 2000s. They pick grapes at full maturity, after having carefully monitored the acidity, pH and sugar on each of their 38 plots. Human intervention is very limited and oak-aging has been banned since 2002, replaced entirely with vats. Grapes and stalks are separated to express the freshness and elegance of the fruit while the wine remains rich and structured.
