Domaine André Aubert, has been formed over decades and generations by one very passionate wine family and today comprises of more than 280 hectares spread from north to south of the prestigious Southern Rhone Valley on the appellations Côtes du Rhône, Côtes du Rhône villages, Visan, and Grignan-les-Adhémar. The Château Le Grand Retour property was purchased in 1999.

Château le Grand Retour is situated in the Plan de Dieu AOC. This geographical area is overflowing with very important pebbles left behind by the Rhône River from millennia ago. As the Aubert family says, this vineyard allows the vines to 'drink the sun and live on stones.'

A sumptuous blend of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre with rich fruit aromas of black cherry and raspberry. Notes of licorice and spice dominate the full-bodied palate and lead to a well-balanced and complex finish. This wine punches above it's weight in every class!

A great pairing with grilled lamb, stuffed eggplant, kebabs or köfte.

Peter Sichel (of the Bordeaux négociant family) first discovered the valley of Cucugnan on a road trip with a friend in the 1960s. He was so spellbound by the place that he bought a house there and, in 1988, planted a vineyard. The project grew, albeit slowly, but the arrival of Peter’s thoughtful and environmentally inspired grandson, Alexander Sichel, has turned the Domaine Peter Sichel project completely around.

Montanha is made from Grenache . The vines are cultivated between 300 and 400 meters above sea level on clay-limestone mountain slopes. After a short infusion of 2.5 days, the must is pressed and the wine finishes its fermentation in concrete vats .

Montanha, meaning "Mountain" in Occitan, is a refreshing infusion crafted from fresh mountain fruits. The wine presents a clear ruby hue, accompanied by a clean and expressive nose featuring notes of red fruits and wild strawberries. Its profile reveals a fine and elegant structure, making it a delightful experience for the senses.

Plump & Cheerful

Christine Aubert, alongside her son Aurélien, has owned Domaine Autrand in the charming village of Vinsobres, Drôme Provençale, since 2002. As the third generation to manage the family business, Christine took over the property and was joined by her eldest son in 2008. The majority of the vineyard was planted after the olive tree frost of 1956, when the Autrand family decided to restructure their farm. Today, the vineyard has an average age of around 45 years, reflecting the long history and dedication of the Aubert family.

A vibrant red from the Rhône Valley, bursting with aromas of candied cherry, blackcurrant, and a touch of black pepper. The palate is generous yet balanced, with ripe fruit depth, harmonious tannins, and a long, aromatic finish that lingers beautifully.

A natural match with grilled burgers, or pork ribs covered in sticky barbecue sauce.
