Perpetuating tradition, maturing Côtes du Rhône of quality with one ambition : to make people enjoy our wine in the whole world...

Five generations of wine growers and two continents are the symbols of our history.

Born in a family of wine growers settled in North Africa, we came to the south of France at the end of the fifties. 

During the sixties we developed fruit growing activities which are common in the Rhône valley and which allowed our family to come back to its traditional activity, viticulture.

At the beginning of the seventies, we bought a wooded piece of land situated on foothills in the Uchaux region which allowed us, at last, to plant our vineyard.

The first harvest and the first vinifications took place in 1978 and we were pleased to verify the good quality of the soil, as expected. This excellent quality of the soil gave us wines of high standard.

Passion for wine-making remains whatever the continent...

For practical reasons we built our winery on the agricultural area of Mornas (Vaucluse).

On this land there is a big house known for ages as the castle by the local people which gave its name to the estate : Château du Grand Moulas.

The future of the Château is clear, thanks to the sixth generation, as our son Nicolas wishes to perpetuate the family tradition being in his turn a vine grower respectful of the art, in order to elaborate the high quality wines we have been proud of for years.
