The family winery is located in the municipality of Mormoiron in the Vaucluse département in the French wine-growing region of Rhône. Its origins date back to 1970, when Odette and René Bastide bought an old vineyard that was almost in ruins. Daughter Edith and her husband Paul Chaudière initially worked as doctors. After studying at "l'Université du Vin de Suze-La-Rousse" and "lycée viticole d'Orange", as well as study trips to France in Bordeaux and Burgundy, and Napa Valley and Oregon in the USA, they took over the business in 1985 and acquired more vineyards. Since 2003, their sons Alexandre and Frédéric have continued the family tradition. The entire operation is run according to environmentally friendly rules of sustainability. The energy for the entire farm is generated entirely by their own photovoltaic system.
For me, Lexicon from wein.plus is the most comprehensive and best source of information about wine currently available.
