La Roubine

Former Parisian fireman and former Gigondas Mayor Eric Uhgetto and his wife Sophie took over her family’s vineyards in the early 1990s and were certified organic in 2000. The estate has 15 hectares in Gigondas, Vacqueyras, Seguret and Sablet, planted to Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre, Cinsault and Counoise. Their vineyards are on limestone, clay, and sand terraces that sit at varying altitudes along the Dentelles de Montmirail. Uniquely, they work with 100% stem inclusion on all red wines and allow spontaneous ferments followed by aging in neutral vessels of old wood barrels, concrete, and fiberglass tanks.
