Welcome to
the Rieu Frais Estate.
In the heart of Baronnies Provençales Regional Park, our family estate exclusively produces wines within the Protected Geographical Indication “Coteaux des Baronnies”.
Thanks to an exceptional climate, our entire production was certified organic as early as 2007.
As independent winemakers, we demonstrate our commitment to wine making in a manner respectful of people, the environment, as well as the Baronnies terroir.
The estate :
the soul of a terroir.
Our 35 hectares of organic vineyards are situated in Sainte-Jalle, on the slopes of the Ennuyé valley.
The area lies in the heart of the Baronnies, in the Provençal part of the Drôme district, between
Montélimar, Orange, and Gap. It’s a territory of medium height mountains, off the beaten track, with
rugged terrain.
An organic
farming.
Our 35 hectare vineyard is located in an old glacial valley in the heart of the Baronnies. Thanks to this relative isolation and its particular Mediterranean climate, our vineyard is very rarely subject to diseases and pests. Our vines flourish in pure air and on preserved soil.
An organic
winemaking.
Just like the cultivation of vines, our winemaking process is 100% organic. Our organic wine is the best way to convey the full potential of the grapes while being respectful of the environment and the consumer. The harvest is carried out at night so that the grapes are as cold as possible, to avoid oxidation and thus limit, or wholly abstain from using sulphite.
To each
its own.
Located in the heart of the Baronnies, in the Provençal Drôme, our estate enjoys significant sunlight and a unique microclimate. It benefits from both the Mediterranean and Alpine climates. These favorable conditions allow us to offer you authentic and original wines produced from Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Chardonnay, Viognier, Roussanne, Marsanne, Pinot Noir, and Gamay grape varieties.
