OUR PRODUCERS ...

The history of Mas des Restanques began in 1995 with the union of our two families; one from the heart of Provence and the other from the foot of the Dentelles near Vaucluse; also in Provence. Mas des Restanques consists of 9 hectares divided between two prestigious appellations: 6 ha in Vacqueyras, 2 ha in Gigondas and 1 ha if Vin de Pays / Cotes du Rhone. The name of the domain is made from the Provencal word restanco, which is the name used for walls that are built if the vineyards are very steep. Until 2006 the grapes were delivered to the local cooperative. In 2007 a new cellar was ready for the first vintage bottled at the domain. Since 2012 the vineyards are certified agriculture biologique (Organic). The first vintage of this small Domaine was in 2007. Harvesting is completely by hand. Elevage takes place in cement vats.

Situated at the base of the Laces of Montmirail, one of the most beautiful sites classified by France, the vineyards of Domaine des Florets in the appellation of Gigondas extends for over 8 hectares of steep ground. Myriam and Jérôme Boudier have owned the property and made the wines at the Domaine since 2006.The vines are planted 500 meters above sea level and boast an average age of 40 years. With respect for this countryside, and the traditional vines in the GIGONDAS AOC, such as Grenache, Cinsault, Mourvèdre and Syrah, the nectar drawn by this vineyard is of high quality.

The philosophy of the Domaine is to respect the environment, the vines and the culture of Gigondas, and to make high quality wine with a great expression of its terroir. Perched in the middle of the foothills of Gigondas, Domaine des Florets has the reputation of producing quality wine. Since 2006, Jérôme Boudier gives revival to this domain to make subtle wines with nothing short of power and elegance.
