Their story

About 10,000 years ago a meteorite struck a hillside above the village of Cabrerolles. Today the domaine's vines grow inside the crater and on the plateau around it — as far as anyone knows, the only vineyard in the world to do so. The cuvée names follow the meteor showers seen over the estate.

The vines sit at 300 metres on poor schist, sheltered by the Cévennes, which keeps yields low and the wines fresh. Two London doctors, Paul Jenkins and Paul Jarman, bought the estate in 2018 after 25 years of holidays in the area; Simon Frech, who trained in New Zealand and Argentina, runs the cellar.
