| OVERVIEW | Domaine de l’Amandine, situated in the southern Rhône valley, nestles at the foothills of the fortified hillside village of Séguret, classed as one of France’s most picturesque villages.The estate, or Domaine, was established in 1968 by Jean-Pierre Verdeau and his wife Maryse. Jean-Pierre comes from a long line of winemakers and farmers and his ancestors were the founders of several wine cooperatives in the Rhône valley. Through unflagging determination and hard work, he has built the domaine into one of the most well-known wineries in the area. Currently farming 120 acres of appellations Côtes du Rhône and Côtes du Rhône Villages from hillside vineyards with vines averaging 50 years old, the estate produces authentic, full-bodied Côtes du Rhône reds with plenty of fruit and spice notes. Vinification methods are a winning combination of the oldest winemaking traditions mated with modern technology. The quality of the wines is rewarded year in and year out by national and international awards. The entire range of wines (reds, whites and rosés) are produced, bottled and packaged on the property and are exported to Europe as well as the rest of the world. Today, Jean-Pierre and Maryse are accompanied by their daughter Sabine. Sabine, a talented cook in her own right, features the domaine’s wines in the Provencal cooking lessons she gives in their ancient farmhouse on the property. Jean-Pierre is currently handing over the reins to Sabine’s husband Alex Suter and between them they are carrying this dynamic winery into the 21st century. In Decanter’s 2017 World Wine Awards the estate’s 2015 Séguret earned a Bronze Award and the 2014 La Montagne earned a Silver Award. |
