Domaine du Grant Montmirail 16 Items

The Domaine du Grand Montmirail is owned by the Cheron family. Originally from Burgundy, Denis Cheron bought the Cave du Grand Comtadine in Vacqueyas in the 1960s. There he vinified grapes for scores of local producers and created a negoçiant firm called Pascal. One of Denis' suppliers was the owner of the Domaine du Grand Montmirail, a wonderfully situated property in the southeastern part of Gigondas. When this supplier retired, offers came in from all directions for this optimal piece of land. It was an ideal location for a developer to exploit. But rather than take the highest offer from a stranger, he rewarded Denis for his financial allegiance and allowed him to purchase the house and property.

Shortly after the purpose, the Cheron made some important investments to improve the grape varieties and to construct a winemaking cellar. In the early 1980s, Denis' son Yves, a graduate in enological studies in Beaune, took over the labors at the domaine. He refurbished an old convent on the property and made it his family house, an amazing home overlooking the vineyards and with a killer view of Mount Ventoux in the distance.
