The Estate
Our History
A Vineyard Born From Passion and a Shared Vision
After successful years in the Parisian media and pastry worlds, Patrick Chêne and his wife Laurence founded the estate in 2014. The estate's wines quickly earned their place at the most prestigious tables. Within ten years, Dambrun has become one of the benchmark producers of the appellation. Captivated by the quality of the wines and the beauty of the property, Normand Lavoie arrived from his native Quebec to bring a new momentum to the estate. The creation of a new tasting cellar and the acquisition of six additional hectares mark the first steps of this new chapter, driven by two ambitions: to preserve the soul and quality of the wines while bringing a new dimension to the estate.
An Exceptional Terroir
We have chosen chemical-free viticulture and prioritize an artisanal approach:
Four Communes
Our vines are spread across four villages: Caromb, Modène, Mazan, and Bédoin. The synergy between these 19 hectares contributes to the complexity and aromatic richness of our wines.
Beautiful Diversity
The terroirs offer a wonderful diversity, with soils predominantly composed of limestone and clay. Our plots are situated at altitudes ranging from 150 to 450 meters, benefiting from the unique sunshine of Mont Ventoux's southern slopes.
The Mistral
The Mistral wind is a marvelous ally, drying the rare rains that refresh our vines. These climatic conditions are ideal for crafting generous, elegant, and "gourmand" wines.
Our Red Wines
Domaine Dambrun produces red wines under the AOC Ventoux appellation. Our primary red grape varieties are Grenache Noir, Syrah, Cinsault, Carignan, Caladoc, and Counoise. Our vines have an average age of about forty years.
Our White Wine
Our white wine is produced under the IGP Vaucluse classification, allowing us to enrich the blend with our superb Chardonnay grapes. The other varieties grown at the estate include Grenache Blanc, Roussanne, Clairette, Marsanne, Viognier, and Ugni Blanc.
Our Rosé Wine
Our Rosé is an AOP Ventoux, with a focus on two specific varieties: Cinsault and Caladoc (a cross between Grenache Noir and Malbec). This choice allows us to offer a fine, balanced, and fruity Rosé.
