Domaine des Bosquets has deep historical roots in Gigondas. It was first mentioned as a vineyard site in 1376. Julien Bréchet the owner of the domaine took over in 2010, since then he has begun to map out his terroirs through careful studies and micro-vinifications. Rather than rob his Village Gigondas of its best parts, these parcel wines are only made in limited quantities. His 26 hectares are primarily located in Gigondas, with a few hectares in neighboring Beaumes-de-Venise and Sablet. His estate is now certified organic, a process he started in 2015, and he he’s begun implementing biodynamically practices. The average age of his vines is 50 years old, and the soils range from sand to various gravels and types of clay – some with high levels of chalk.
