OUR WINERY
CHÂTEAU DE LA SELVE

The castle dates back to the 13th century and was originally a fortified house on the border with the French Empire and then the French Kingdom. Over the centuries it became a farm. This beautiful residence was then purchased by Benoît's parents in 1990. In 2002, soon after graduating from the Beaune viticulture school, Benoît's dream came true by creating an estate in southern Ardèche. He was convinced of the potential of the terroir with its scorching sun and cool nights, wild landscapes and limestone soils rich in scrub, humus and truffle aromas. Benoît and his wife Florence use organic and biodynamic methods to protect the environment and allow the terroir to fully express itself. They try to give life to the soils and vines and strive to produce ever purer wines.
