A preserved land

 

Domaine Childéric is located in the commune of Mormoiron, south of Ventoux, at an altitude of 300m, in the heart of the Ventoux Regional Park. A true natural setting, the estate is a single 8-hectare plot on ochre-colored land, preserved by a belt of Mediterranean species (pines, oaks, cypresses, olive trees). The soils are deep sandy clay, and the plant does not experience water stress.

 

With biodynamics, we are at the school of life and we share this research with other winegrowers. We must create a link between the soil, the plant and the animal world, restore the unity of ecosystems and stimulate exchanges between the different levels; from the microscopic life of the soil to planetary influences, passing through the intermediate levels that are the plot, the estate, the territory.

 

We chose to settle in this unspoiled location in the Ventoux foothills. The land had been worked without pesticides since the 1960s by Jacques Carteaud, then by Etienne and Isabelle Childéric. We are delighted to continue this tradition.

 

Our wines are in AOP Ventoux, an appellation which is improving in quality, as Le Monde notes in this article .
