FROM RIPE WINE IMPORTS:

THE WINE: 100% Grenache.

THE PRODUCER: Founded in 2009 by Adrien Roustan, Domaine D'Ouréa is nestled in the heart of the Vaucluse department, within the renowned wine-growing areas of Vacqueyras and Gigondas in southern Rhône. After completing his studies in oenology and gaining experience in Burgundy and California, Roustan took over a portion of his grandfather Raymond Bertrand’s estate. In his first year, he transitioned the vineyard to organic farming, achieving certification in 2012. This shift in approach was a natural decision for Roustan, aiming to produce wines that truly express the unique terroirs of his vineyard. Farming requires patience, and it took over a decade to restore natural balance in the vineyards and wines through organic practices. For Adrien, the shift to biodynamics is a natural extension of his philosophy. In 2020, he decided to convert the entire estate to biodynamic farming. This marks a new chapter in the estate’s history, dedicated to producing exceptional wines from the Southern Rhône.
