What to do and see in , Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes: The Best Wineries & Vineyards

We are a small, family owned, organic vineyard and winery situated high on the plateau above Vinsobres with panoramic views over the Mont Ventoux and the Pre-Alpes. With a long standing passion for wine, refugees from the City of London, Anna and Wilson Thorburn created the Domaine in 2007. From our 13 hectares (33 acres) of vines we produce Cru Vinsobres and Cotes du Rhone wines.

A family history The history of the Jaume family began with Henri Chauvet and Baron Le Roy who introduced the "appellation contrôlée" label. Henri Chauvet's son-in-law Pierre Jaume gave a driving force to the estate, which in turn enabled his son Claude to raise it to the ranks of the best in the 1960s. In the 80s, his sons Claude, Pascal and Richard took over and in 2005 they celebrated the 100th anniversary of Domaine Jaume. Domaine Jaume covers 92 hectares of land in Vinsobres, classified Cru of the Côtes du Rhône in Provence.

Located to the East of the village of Vinsobres and protected from the mistral, it was the ancient possession of the monastery of St. Caesarius of Nyons, historical records show that the locality was once called St. Vincent and renowned for the quality of its wines. A chapel which no longer exists, was erected in memory of "St. Vincent," the patron saint of winegrowers. It is in this special place during in the 1920s, that the Domaine Saint Vincent was established. In 2012, the Domaine Saint Vincent became property of the family LESCOCHE. Now in their capable hands, lies the destiny of this vintage with the ambition to continue the work accomplished and aspire towards an improving quality and renown in the sector.

For over 60 years, La Vinsobraise has brought together 250 winegrowers around a passion: the culture of the vineyards.

The Chateau de Verone was built in the 13th century at the foot of the perched village of Vinsobres, in the heart of the Rhone Valley. The Chevalier Pierre de Verone was then lord of the property from 1277. His coat of arms became the emblem of the wines produced there. At the beginning of the 20th century, the Pelissier family acquired the estate and developed a quality vineyard over four generations.
