Les vignes sont âgées de 40 ans. Des alluvions caillouteuses du quaternaire déposées par le Rhône et l’Isère composent les sols. L'année au domaine est rythmée par les saisons et en fonction de la lune pour appliquer les préparas biodynamiques nécessaires à la stimulation de la vie des sols et au renforcement de la vigne. L’enrichissement des sols se fait par l’apport de fumier de vaches allaitantes bio qui se composte avec des préparas dynamisés. Les vertus d’autres plantes, transmises par des tisanes, des infusions ou des décoctions, complètent cette méthode d’agriculture.


Fermentation with indigenous yeasts. Vinification is traditional with pump-overs and occasional punch-downs. Maceration takes place on the skins for more than a week, and then the wines are warmed into barrels for 12 months of aging.

Domaine de la Ville Rouge

Domaine de la Ville Rouge has been a family estate since 1916. It is located in the commune of Mercurol, in the heart of the Crozes-Hermitage appellation. Sébastien Girard joined his father in 2006. Now, he manages the 20-hectare estate with the passion of a true winemaker. In 2016, his wife Audrey joined him and took over the administrative side of the business. Respectful of the land, they strive for a healthy vineyard to produce quality grapes and vibrant wines. The entire estate is therefore certified organic and biodynamic.

Northern Rhône Valley

The Rhône Valley is one of France's major wine regions, renowned for its many iconic appellations. It stretches along the Rhône River, between Vienne and Avignon, and is divided into two distinct parts: the north and the south. The northern part is smaller and dominated by Syrah for red wines and Viognier for white wines.

The hillsides are steep, and the vines, planted in granite soils, give rise to elegant, intense, and spicy red wines, with a remarkable expression of Syrah. It is also the cradle of great white wines made from Viognier and Marsanne, renowned for their finesse and complexity.

The Rhône Valley is also marked by a long winemaking tradition and a strong commitment to respecting the terroir. Many winegrowers there now practice sustainable viticulture.

What is a natural wine?

What is a natural wine?

A natural wine is made from organic or biodynamic grapes, harvested by hand and vinified without chemical inputs. No yeast or additives are used, and sulfur is very limited. The wine thus fully reflects the terroir and the winemaker's work.
