Winemaker Charles Aubert

Background Charles (1993) worked as a pilot for the French Air Force until his father had a heart attack. Charles decided to continue his family's vineyards, which his great-grandfather started in 1926. He was given the freedom to apply his vision to the vineyard. A renovated winery and complete autonomy and freedom to worthily continue the family estate. In addition to his work as a winemaker, Charles is an active reservist. Charles makes his biodynamic wines in three wine regions: Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Cairanne, and Côte du Rhône Village Plan de Dieu.

Vineyard The biodynamic vineyards in Plan de Dieu have a unique soil of small pebbles, slate gravel, and clay. The vineyards are 45 years old.

Vinification After manual harvesting, the wine ferments on its own yeasts and ages in concrete tanks for eight months. After this, the wine also ages in the bottle for another eight months.
