Domaine de Cassan - a vineyard inspired by the Dentelles de Montmirail
Domaine de Cassan
A Rhone valley estate, at the foot of the Dentelles de Montmirail. About 18 hectares in Beaumes-de-Venise, Ventoux and Cotes-du-Rhone. Plots farmed organically, led by the Petitjean family.
A property shaped by history and commitment. Nestled at the heart of a sculptural landscape, Domaine de Cassan stretches at the foot of the Dentelles de Montmirail, an emblematic massif that overlooks the valley. Created in the 1970s, it has seen several generations of enthusiasts succeed one another, including the Croset family, long the guardian of this exceptional place.
Today, the estate opens a new chapter. The Petitjean family, linked to the estate for a long time, now runs it. Their collaboration with the Croset family dates back to 2010, when several emblematic plots (notably in Gigondas and Beaumes-de-Venise) had joined their other property. Since then, these vines have been farmed organically, giving birth to cuvees recognised for their freshness and their precision.

A rare terroir, at the heart of a listed landscape
The Dentelles de Montmirail offer a spectacular setting and a unique winegrowing frame. The limestone slopes, bathed in generous sunshine, allow the Mediterranean grapes to fully express themselves. The vineyard covers about 18 hectares, spread between:
Beaumes-de-Venise, emblematic terroirs for the reds and the Muscat.
Cotes-du-Rhone, plots for wines of balance and indulgence.
Ventoux, a few high-altitude vines, turned towards freshness.
The mineral-rich soils, the altitude and the thermal contrasts give birth to intense, precise wines, always marked by freshness.
An ethical and sustainable approach
At Domaine de Cassan, respect for the living is not just a principle: it is a way of working. Biodiversity is protected, the soils are carefully maintained, and the whole estate is part of a responsible approach that takes into account the environment as much as people.
The team leads an attentive viticulture, turned towards the future: respectful practices, reflection on the ecological impact, reasoned management of the vineyard and continuous improvement of the working tools.
A united and passionate team
The estate works thanks to a team whose skills complement each other harmoniously. Led by Sarah and Jerome Petitjean, the estate evolves with dynamism. They are supported daily by a team committed to the cultivation of the vines, the winemaking and the welcome of visitors.
Each member takes part in bringing the identity of the place to life and in carrying the projects of tomorrow.
