Jean D.

For more than 40 years in respect for the living Jean DAVID was a pioneer in the cultivation of vines in Organic Agriculture. For more than 40 years, the 16 hectares of family land have been cultivated with respect for the living, giving the greatest care to the vines. The estate produces wines without technology or added products, in all three colours, in the Côtes-du-Rhône and Côtes-du-Rhône Villages Seguret appellation. The wines are gourmet, with a beautiful personality. Since 2015, Jean-Luc Auffret, Jean DAVID's son-in-law, has taken over the estate. With the same philosophy and a lot of curiosity, Jean-Luc perpetuates the tradition and cultivates family know-how. New vintages are produced, and in perpetual reflection in the face of climate change and the vagaries of our society, the winemaker seeks his place and works to invent himself constantly, for the pleasure of wine! The vine For diversity, for BIOdiversity, for the love of the vine and the living. We grow 10 different grape varieties. Roussanne and Bourboulenc for whites, strange things like Tempranillo and Alicante, classics Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre of the appellation, and the complementary ones we love, Carignan, Cinsault and Counoise. A short size, a good part in a cup, a few 90-year-old vines, no chemicals, and this wind, the Mistral, which helps us well.

There's no yeast, no wood. The harvest is manual, for the quality and especially for the atmosphere !!! For the Whites and the Rosé: direct pressing, disbursement, rearing 6 months in stainless steel vats. For the Reds: whole bunch, unaddropped, some reassembly, maceration between 5 days and 4 weeks. Breeding in concrete vats for 9 months.
