Domaine Comte de Lauze - tradition, excellence and respect for the terroir
Domaine Comte de Lauze
A Chateauneuf-du-Pape and Cotes-du-Rhone estate, since 1976, on the Cabrieres lieu-dit. Run by Anne (3rd generation) since 2004, certified HVE. Grenache and Syrah for powerful reds; a vaulted cellar at the heart of the village.
A historic estate in Chateauneuf-du-Pape. Since 1976, Domaine Comte de Lauze has passionately cultivated the vine at the heart of the prestigious terroirs of Chateauneuf-du-Pape and the Cotes-du-Rhone.
Located in the north-west of the appellation, on the Cabrieres lieu-dit, the vineyard benefits from a clay-limestone soil covered with rolled pebbles, true heat collectors that favour the ripeness of the grapes. The mistral, ever-present, naturally cleanses the vines and contributes to the purity of the harvests.

The passion of a woman, heir to a family know-how
Since 2004, Anne, the third generation of winegrowers, has run the estate with energy and rigour. She personally oversees every stage, from the work in the vines to the ageing in the cellar, combining respect for traditions and modern viticultural practices. Her approach, based on quality and sustainability, has earned the estate the HVE (High Environmental Value) certification, a national recognition of estates committed to the protection of biodiversity and the reasoned management of inputs.
A responsible and demanding viticulture
Domaine Comte de Lauze is part of a complete agro-environmental approach, combining a fine observation of the terroir and the mastery of natural balances. Manual work, selective harvesting and the rigorous monitoring of the ripeness of the grapes guarantee low yields and an authentic expression of the grapes.
Powerful and elegant wines
The estate's Chateauneuf-du-Pape embody the power of the south and the finesse of the winegrower's hand. Mainly from Grenache and Syrah, they offer framed, complex reds, perfect to accompany red meats and matured cheeses. The Cotes-du-Rhone reds and whites, produced on Orange and Sorgues, charm with their balance and their fruitiness.
Cotes-du-Rhone Rouge: generous, with violet glints, dominated by aromas of black fruits and spices.
Cotes-du-Rhone Blanc: a blend of Viognier, Roussanne and Grenache blanc, all in freshness and elegance.
The art of winemaking and ageing
Each vintage is vinified with care. After a light crushing and a controlled maceration, the alcoholic fermentation reveals tannins and aromas. The ageing then continues in traditional large casks, demi-muids and barrels for at least 12 months before bottling. This artisanal know-how makes it possible to produce powerful, balanced wines that last over time, some old vintages of which are still offered for sale, a rare privilege for enlightened enthusiasts.
