Gourmet products local specialties and wines Sainte-Cécile-Les-Vignes

Since 1990, Frédéric Penne has run the family estate, which he inherited from his grandparents. 31 ha under sustainable viticulture in Sainte-Cécile, Plan de Dieu and Cairanne. The main grape variety is Grenache, to which he adds Counoise, Syrah, Mourvèdre and Cinsault. The blends produce Côtes-du-Rhône wines in all 3 colors: the white as an aperitif, the fruity rosé, the color of winter sunshine, very pleasant on the palate and a perfect accompaniment to summer grilled meats, while the reds are excellent wines for laying down. Moun Pantaï means my dream in Provençal. What happiness!

In the heart of the internationally renowned Côtes du Rhône, the Chantecôtes cellar, known for its medal-winning wines and its gentle techniques (hand-picking, grapes sorted on the vine...) welcomes you under a superb 14th century vault. You will discover a wide range of wines, from the lively and light to the wine of guard. The variety of soils and exposures are an asset that the cellar exploits to the full. To sum up, the wines are very regular and offer a very good quality/price ratio.

Domaine Les Grands Bois is a winery located in Sainte-Cécile-les-Vignes. Since 1920, this independent winemaker has offered a selection of wines including Côtes du Rhône, Côtes du Rhône Villages Sainte-Cécile, Cairanne and Rasteau. The estate's vineyards cover 46 hectares spread over 7 communes in the region. Visitors can discover the wines and enjoy a tasting in the domaine's cellar. Domaine Les Grands Bois also offers a delivery service for those wishing to buy their wines remotely.

The estate is one of the oldest in the Rhone Valley since its name first appears in 1561. The Château is located at the top of an amphitheatre of vines. Under Louis XIV, it housed a convent of which there are still vestiges. Renovated and transformed in 1889, it became the successive property of Trintignant (famous racing driver) then Beauharnais. Owner since 2010, Vincent Moreau devotes all his know-how and enthusiasm to making quality wines from the Côtes du Rhône terroirs. All you have to do is taste them!

This estate, before being a vineyard, belonged in the middle of the 17th century to a president of the Parliament of Provence. In 1701, the property took the name of "La Présidente" in homage to the president's wife. In 1789, it was sold as national property and bought by Céline Aubert. The estate extends over 150 hectares planted on typical clay-limestone soils of the region. The Great Classics: Côtes-du-Rhône in the three colours, or the red Châteauneuf-du-Pape. The aromas are among others a complex mix of delicate citrus notes.

The winegrowers' cellar offers a fine choice of cuvées that have been winning medals for some years now. The range of wines is wide, with a few selected cuvées: Quintessence (woody), a 100% Syrah AOC Côtes-du-Rhône aged 12 months in oak barrels, with a beautiful aromatic intensity, fruity and full-bodied; Exaltation (full-bodied, non-woody) "Massif d'Uchaux", AOC Côtes-du-Rhône Villages, Grenache and Syrah aged in vats and foudres; and Révélation AOC Côtes-du-Rhône, a rosé made from Syrah, Grenache, Cinsault and Carignan.

The Domaine Grand Ribe, considered one of the precursors of organic farming in the Rhone Valley, extends over 40 hectares at the foot of Mont Ventoux on clayey-limestone soils composed of small sandstones or sandy. It is in the greatest respect of organic standards that the experienced winegrower has been evolving since 2002. The range of wines is declined in 3 AOC: Côtes-du-Rhône, Côtes-du-Rhône Villages Rochegude and Côtes-du-Rhône Villages Sainte-Cécile in the 3 colours.
