CHATEAUX DES GIMARETS

The Château des Gimarets winery started in the 17th century, during the reign of Louis XIV, when Molière was giving his plays, Lully composing his music and Rembrandt his paintings. The castle was built in 1650 on the foundation of a Roman Villa already surrounded by vineyards, cedars and centennial Oak trees. Eric and Nathalie Boyer have owned the estate since 2007, and are using sustainable farming practices on this 4.4-hectare vineyards.
