"Once again this year, the Dubois family has been showered with stars, and won no less than two Favorites awards. The first goes to this pure Grenache from century-old hand-harvested vines, with an intense nose of red fruit, undergrowth and vanilla. But it's the palate above all that impressed the jury: complex, velvety, powerful and greedy, with intense flavors of spicy red fruits, stretched out in a long chocolatey finish and supported by velvety tannins of remarkable harmony. A majestic Lirac ". (Le Guide Hachette des vins 2019)

About the domain :
Established at the foot of the Notre-Dame-de-Grâce sanctuary in Rochefort-du-Gard, not far from the ancient marshes drained by the monks in the Middle Ages, this estate, born in 1994 from the merger of three small holdings, has shown great consistency in its quality. Succeeding his parents Jean-Pierre and Dominique, Romain Dubois and his wife Laure, now alone at the head of the estate, have created a new winery and converted the 20 ha of vines to organic farming.
