Description
Apart from a small plot of Syrah grape variety, adjoining the Cave de Châteauneuf du Pape, located in the heart of the village, the vineyard extends to the south of the Appellation, on localities with typical names: "Crousroute" and "La Lionne", in the immediate vicinity of an old arm of the Rhone, called the Bras des Armeniers, today a fishing reserve.
The very old farmhouse, built in "lurch", a traditional mixture compacted with clay and gravel, is established in the center of the Estate, the vineyards lined with groves of holm oaks and pines, descend gently from the Côte de La Lionne to the rural path linking Avignon to Châteauneuf du pape.
On the soil level, the slightly sandy soil consists of terraces of rolled pebbles and strata of Burdigalian molasse typical of the appellation. These famous pebbles accumulate during the day the rays of the generous sun of Provence to, at night, restore the warmth to the vines, and thus bring the grapes to their optimal maturity.
We maintain a traditional and reasoned culture, respectful of the environment, always favoring the hand of man.
We would be
delighted to welcome you to make you discover the estate and its history and the work done for the elaboration of our wines!
Looking forward to meeting you quickly at the Mas Saint Louis estate

otre Domaine was constituted by Jean-Louis GENIEST more than a hundred years ago, by regrouping family lands located near the old road from Avignon to Châteauneuf du Pape. Jean-Louis GENIEST came from a long line of coopers-cordiers established on the banks of the Rhone and known since the eighteenth century. The coopers-cordiers made barrels and barrels of various capacities as well as ropes intended to anchor them on the boats, for the "astade" of the Rhone to Lyon, Burgundy and Paris, carried out using teams of 30 horses on average circulating on the towpaths. Jean-Louis GENIEST acquired in 1909 the Maison Vigneronne, at 28 avenue du Baron Le Roy, Clos district in Châteauneuf du Pape, to vinify the harvests from his plots located around the old "Mas Saint-Louis", he then rebuilt the old winemaking vats that were there; tanks, which are periodically renovated, are still in use. Then he was succeeded by his son Gabriel and his grandson Louis. Louis GENIEST ( winebnb.com ) was keen to amplify the work of the founder by acquiring new plots of vines, bringing together some by multiple exchanges resulting in a magnificent homogeneous and harmonious Domain of more than 30 hectares in one piece. His action was extended by his son Jean, eminent jurist, doctor of law, and now, Monique GENIEST, the wife of the latter, animates the Domain, favoring the improvement of soils and crops, as well as the modernization of equipment.
