Domaine Guy Farge

Domaine Guy Farge is part of a strong family tradition, which began in the 1920s, when Henri Farge bought 12 hectares of vines from a Norman general. Three generations later, Guy Farge took over the reins and gave the estate a new lease of life, deciding in 2007 to vinify his own grapes, which had previously been sold to the Tain l'Hermitage cooperative.

The Domaine Guy Farge vineyard now comprises 17 hectares of rarely drought-prone vines. The slopes are made up of granite, and the soils are very filtering: the vines are grown on terraces, supported by dry stone walls.

As Domaine Guy Farge is made up of steep, sloping terraced plots, the work in the vineyard is exclusively manual, from pruning to harvesting. Difficult and demanding, it takes courage and patience to care for each vine before being rewarded with the quality of our terroir wines. With the constant aim of working in an environmentally-friendly way, the integrated farming methods adopted (minimal use of treatment products) have naturally given pride of place to the horse, which passes through the rows of vines in certain plots to turn the soil, thus weeding and aerating the soil.
