WELCOME TO
DOMAINE D’ARBOUSSET VINEYARD

In Saint-Laurent-des-Arbres, amidst the vines of the Lirac-Cru des Côtes du Rhône appellation, Domaine d’Arbousset meticulously crafts its wines from vine to cellar.

This family-run, independent estate with organic certification produces a precise and harmonious wine, while striving to uphold their expertise and core values :

Legacy, sustainability and creativity.

A HUMAN ADVENTURE
combining legacy and creation

Domaine d’Arbousset is a family-run estate, passed down from generation to generation. Gérald Lafont, who grew up surrounded by vines, took over from his father Yvon in 2003, continuing the legacy and values of his predecessors. 

Constantly seeking innovation, Gérald shares his high standards and passion for winemaking with Julie Rouffignac. Together, they create wines filled with sunshine and love. Each year, a new vintage is crafted, ensuring that the wine is always unique. 

Their independence, high standards, and strong capacity for innovation result in exceptional wines. They combine their expertise with a shared dream of passing it on to their two sons, Rafael and Maxime.

WORKING WITH THE LAND
An organic vineyard

Driven by their shared passion for winemaking, Julie and Gérald began using organic practices from the outset, when they created the Domaine.

They focus their efforts on creating wine which has no additives and is made with respect for the environment: Manual weeding, organic winemaking methods, biodynamic agriculture, and manual harvesting with stringent sorting.

This winemaking couple produces excellent wine with ethical and sustainable practices. Their secret? Patience and careful observation of the vine’s cycle.

Samples of the grapes are regularly picked and tasted by the family as they ripen. They take time to reflect and imagine their next wine while choosing the optimal time for harvest.
The alchemy of the earth and grape varieties is fundamental, ensuring an elegant and individual wine.

THE LAND

Domaine d’Arbousset’s grapes grow on several plots amidst scrub and arid lands with Mistral wind. The soil is conducive to making wine which improves with age.

OUR WINE

The grapes come from a 50-year-old Grenache plot with fairly clayey limestone soil, and a second 40-year-old plot of Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, and Cinsault, located on the vast and beautiful Claretière plateau in Lirac, a terroir of pebbles, sand, and red clay.
