Villa Costebelle

For the record...it was in Rourebeau in my native village that the adventure started!
At the time of resuming a professional activity after ten years of living with my young children, the family farm, which had previously been a wine-growing but converted to stone fruit since 1985, was reaching out to me.
I was looking for what would fit best with my desire to create while
preserving the quality of life in the countryside and with my family.
The vine seemed obvious to me, the terroir lent itself to it since the wine had once been good on our plots.

The project was hard but exciting enough to meet the challenge.
Need for discovery, greedy of all things, I needed a complete product, from the cultivation of the vine to the winemaking, the grape lent itself to it!
The family history made the project even more magical, the photos of the harvest, the washing of the barrels in the streets of the village, the smell of the cellar which persisted despite the years, the story of old people with watery eyes thinking back to their twenties, 'It was difficult but how beautiful' they still say to me...

Today our domain in organic farming extends over 2.5 ha in the town of Upaix in the Hautes-Alpes.
Between Provence and Côteaux de Durance, our terroir benefits from clay-limestone soil regulated by the midday sun and the coolness of the peaks, which gives our wines a particularly surprising and whole soul.
The variety of our grape varieties (Pinot Noir, Merlot, Syrah, Mollard, Cabernet Sauvignon, Muscat de Hamburg, Grenache, Petit Manseng and Gewurztraminer) offers us a range of choices for making wines that are all as different as each other.

Some are sophisticated and elegant as they are aged in oak barrels, others simpler and more greedy with aromas of fresh fruit.
The vinification of our wines is a natural continuation of our organic practices since we vinify by minimizing inputs as far as possible, using sulfur in very small quantities, reasoned according to the cuvées and the years.
To allow you to see more clearly, all our cuvées are analyzed post bottling and the sulfur and volatile acidity levels reported on the counter.
