Domaine Les Amoureuses: the creative spirit of winegrowing Ardèche
Domaine Les Amoureuses - Bourg-Saint-Andéol (Ardèche), 76 hectares, organic and biodynamic
Domaine Les Amoureuses is an organic and biodynamic Ardèche estate, over 76 hectares at the gateway to the Ardèche Gorges, between creative boldness and French classicism.
On the right bank of the Rhône, at the gateway to the Ardèche Gorges, Domaine Les Amoureuses farms 76 hectares organically and biodynamically. Twenty grape varieties, thirteen named plots, two signature ranges: solar, fresh and deeply distinctive wines, to discover direct on Avenue des Vins.
On the right bank of the Rhône, at the gateway to the Ardèche Gorges, Domaine Les Amoureuses stretches over 76 hectares of preserved nature in Bourg-Saint-Andéol. This unique place unites the freshness of the North and the Mediterranean generosity of the South.
In 2011, Jean-Pierre and Florence Bedel, founders of the Fabemi industrial group, fell for this terroir and decided to breathe new energy into it. Visionaries in love with their region, they rethought the estate entirely: from the choice of grapes to the vinification, through to the design of the cellars and the cuvees.

Terres des Amoureuses: where innovation meets tradition
From this renaissance comes a double project, between boldness and classicism:
Terres des Amoureuses. A bold, creative IGP Ardèche range, a symbol of freedom and experimentation.
Château Les Amoureuses. An AOP Côtes-du-Rhône and IGP Coteaux de l'Ardèche line, elegant, authentic and faithful to French classicism.
Together they reflect the will to unite technical rigour and emotional expression, giving life to signature wines, sincere and captivating.
An exemplary organic conversion
The switch to organic farming began in November 2019 and led to ECOCERT certification in 2023, complemented by a biodynamic approach validated by Demeter. The estate, also certified High Environmental Value (HVE), is committed to preserving biodiversity and soil vitality:
Natural grassing and plant composts. Living soils, nourished without synthetic inputs.
No herbicide or synthetic fertiliser. A clean viticulture, respectful of the living.
Resistant grape varieties. Chosen to resist disease and climate warming.
This respectful philosophy makes the estate an environmental reference in southern Ardèche.
An exceptional terroir between Rhône and garrigue
The vineyard spans thirteen named plots offering a rare geological mosaic: clay-limestone terraces, stony soils below the Rhône, and limestone marls on the heights. Set between 80 and 330 metres of altitude, the vines enjoy optimal sunshine and natural ventilation that favour the slow ripening of the grapes.
This diversity gives birth to wines that are at once solar, fresh and deeply distinctive, true ambassadors of the Ardèche terroir.
A grape palette of unprecedented richness
The estate's plantings count twenty different varieties, between historic grapes and contemporary ones:
Reds. Syrah, Grenache, Mourvèdre, Marselan, Malbec, Tannat, Tempranillo, Graciano…
Whites. Roussanne, Marsanne, Viognier, Sauvignon Blanc, Sauvignon Gris, Alvarinho…
This controlled diversity allows an endless creation of aromatic profiles, from the floral, taut white to the structured, voluptuous red.
Ultra-precise harvests and haute-couture winemaking
The harvest is done at optimal phenolic ripeness, with optical sorting, on-board weighing and micro-vinifications plot by plot. The cellar's 70 temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks allow variable-volume vinification, guaranteeing exceptional aromatic purity.
Each cuvee is tasted daily, and the final blends reveal solar yet balanced wines, marked by Ardèche freshness and minerality.
As vintages and availability change, the selection shown on Avenue des Vins may vary; here are the estate's ranges and cuvees.
