About the domain :
Liz Williamson is from New Zealand and Robin is from England. In 2004, they chose the flinty Jurassic limestone terroir of the Murviel-lès-Montpellier hills, in a site close to Roman ruins and offering stunning views of the Mediterranean, to create their estate: 13 hectares farmed organically.

About the domain :
Robin Williamson is English, Liz New Zealand. It was in 2004 that they found this estate in the Grès de Montpellier region to begin their new life as winemakers. The estate was soon certified organic, and the diversity of its cuvées - bubbles, whites and reds - is truly delightful! They have increased the size of the estate from 6.5 hectares when they set up, to 14 hectares today. We're delighted to welcome them here.
