The winery was built in a historical Provençale “mas” (farmhouse) dating from the 17th century which is today the family property.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the vineyard, one of the Domaine’s particularities is the age of its old vines most of which would probably have been abandoned or replaced. Planted in 1965, 1955, 1934 and 1910 for its oldest parcels, Domaine Rouge-Bleu’s vineyards lie mostly in the Côtes du Rhône Village Sainte Cécile appellation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCertified organic, the Domaine’s philosophy and practices today extend much further. Inspired by the fundamental principles of biodynamic farming and vinification we favour nature and traditions over farmer’s comfort.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLocated beside a natural spring, source of the river Alcyon, we are gifted with both pristine water and fantastic terroir. Our Domaine’s essential goal is to preserve its complex biodiversity and bring it to the world through our wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo preserve soil microbial life and indigenous yeasts as well as protect our crop we banish pesticides, herbicides, and all systemic products. Only low level of copper and sulphur are used along with essential oils and natural preparations such as nettle or seaweed teas for the well-being and healthy state of our vineyards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile Grenache “King of the South” reigns here, we also distinguish ourselves by our rare Carignan vineyards (less than 5% left in the Rhône Valley) essential to the character and unusual freshness of several of our cuvées. We also cultivate Syrah, Mourvèdre, Cinsault and 16 different white varieties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur vineyards are not irrigated and are 100% hand harvested\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vintage 38 Wine Merchant","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67815677591779,"sku":"vfz1793057293107","price":22.05,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/0406\/3203\/files\/wine-tasting-thomas-bertrand-of-domaine-rouge-bleu-031925_1.png?v=1793057304","url":"https:\/\/marchingwear.shop\/products\/wine-tasting-thomas-bertrand-of-domaine-rouge-bleu-031925","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
