The winemaker story

Domaine Les Terres Promises - translated “The Promised Lands” - is a small organic winery residing in the back country of Provence, France at an altitude of 400 meters. Carignan Blanc grapes are known to be a difficult variety to work with, but winemaker Jean-Chrisophe makes it look easy with exceptionally tasting wines. Driven by a passion for sustainable and environmentally conscious winemaking, the vines are nourished through biodynamic techniques in tandem with the natural elements. From the vineyards to the cellar, grapes are treated with the same concern to preserve their flavor and freshness. A simple taste of his Orange wine leaves no room for doubting its unique character and bold flavors tied to the terroir.
