Domaine Grand Romane

Fame of the family Amadieu

Domaine Grand Romane

Owned by the Family Amadieu for many years, the Domaine Grand Romane produces Côtes du Rhône (Red and White) wines as well as a world wide known Gigondas. The wines are distributed through the most famous Hotels, Restaurants and Retailers in France but also in many foreign countries.

The Côtes du Rhône and Gigondas "Domaine Grand Romane" are the fruits of a drastic selection of the most ripened varieties, a traditional vinification and a maturation in the best new oak barrels during 12 to 18 months. The 40 hectares' vineyard is located at the feet of the Dentelles de Montmirail, between 100 and 300 meters high, among this vineyard, two buildings called "La Romane" and "La Machotte" were built many years ago.

The red Côtes du Rhône is achieved with the young vines of the vineyard whereas the white Côtes du Rhône is produced with 50 year old Clairette vines and a very small part (5%) of white Grenache. To give more specificity and a touch of modernism, this white Côtes du Rhône is fermented in new oak barrels which brings more complex aromas and more body.
The Gigondas "Domaine Grand Romane" is achieved with the oldest vines of the Estate; harvests are made by hand in order to select the most ripened grapes, we really focus on the wine making in the respect of each variety and of the terroir.
The vineyard is planted with the following grape varieties:
• White: Clairette, White Grenache • Red: Black Grenache (at least 50%), Syrah and Mourvèdre (between 10 and 30% of each depending on the vintage)- Cinsault and Counoise -

The wine making takes place in the building called "La Romane" set up in the heart of the vineyard probably during the Roman Area. Grapes are 100% destemmed and the alcoholic fermentation is a mix of long vatting and a very little part of long carbonic maceration. As soon as possible, wines are put in new oak barrels of 225 liters and stored in the building "La Machotte", an underground cellar where the constant temperature is 14°. The final part of the work is the bottling, all these wines are estate bottled in our Domain.

The Domaine Grand Romane is managed by Claude Amadieu, his wife Muriel Amadieu, is in charge of the financial part. Pierre Amadieu is the wine maker of the Domain, in charge of the vinification as well as the maturation and the bottling. The company Pierre Amadieu markets the wines from the Domaine Grand Romane. These famous wines will delight your palate. Following the recent replanting of our family vines in neighbouring districts we are now able to produce our Vin de Pays de Vaucluse, made from a blend of the Grenache, Merlot and Cabernet-Sauvignon grape varieties.
