| The estate | Located in the village of Cairanne in the southern Rhône Valley, it was created in 1992 by a Cairanne family. The cellar, built at the same date, blends in perfectly with the mas. An authentic mid-19th century building, inhabited at the time by a family named Amadieu. Children of the land and trained agricultural engineers, Yves Jean and Corine acquired this 7-hectare property in 2007 as part of a conversion project. Domaine des Amadieu is certified organic and biodynamic. |
| Viticulture | The garrigue soils, clay-limestone slopes and terraces face Mont Ventoux and the Dentelles de Montmirail. Yields controlled by green harvesting such as debudding and thinning. Hand-harvested with very rigorous berry selection. |
| Winemaking | Grapes are destemmed and vinified separately. One- to two-week vatting with light pumping over and punching of the cap. Short ageing in stainless steel vats for 4 months in an air-conditioned cellar. Wine not fined, but lightly filtered. Blended and bottled only once. Annual production of Côtes-du-Rhône Villages does not exceed 6,000 bottles. |
| Food & wine suggestions | Côtes-du-Rhône Villages is ideal as an aperitif or with grilled eggplant and zucchini. |
