Domaine du Serre des Vignes: five decades of heritage in Grignan-les-Adhémar
Domaine du Serre des Vignes - Organic AOC Grignan-les-Adhémar, Drôme Provençale, the Roux family
Domaine du Serre des Vignes is an organic family estate of Grignan-les-Adhémar, between the Montagne de la Lance and the Drôme slopes, run by the Roux cousins.
In Grignan-les-Adhémar, in the Drôme Provençale, Domaine du Serre des Vignes farms a stony terroir refreshed by the Montagne de la Lance. Five decades of family heritage, organic since 2011 and a lunar rhythm: sincere, refined wines, to discover direct on Avenue des Vins.
The story of Domaine du Serre des Vignes begins with Edwige and Sylvain Roux, founders of a great line of Drôme winegrowers. Of their nine children, Jean-Louis and Daniel chose in 1973 to take over the family land, the very year the AOC Tricastin was created. Under the benevolent eye of Émile Pellegrin, they planted their first Grenache plots, before introducing Syrah in the 1980s.
In the 1990s, the next generation took shape: Jérôme, son of Daniel, joined the estate. In 1994, he partnered with his cousin Vincent, son of Jean-Louis, to found the GAEC du Serre des Vignes. Together, they modernise the tools while preserving the original philosophy: to farm the vine with respect and rigour.
After a period in a cooperative, the first estate vinifications appeared in 2003. Medals quickly rewarded the quality of the work. In 2007, a modern semi-buried cellar was built, now allowing bottling at the estate. Faithful to their vision, Jérôme and Vincent committed to organic conversion in 2008, and obtained AB certification in 2011.

A unique terroir between the Lance and the Drôme slopes
The estate lies on stony clay-limestone spread soils, rich in fine elements. Shallow but fertile, they rest on grey-blue marls, able to retain natural moisture.
The hillside vines enjoy optimal sun exposure and the night-time freshness from the Montagne de la Lance (1,340 m altitude). These temperature contrasts yield concentrated grapes with thicker skins, a guarantee of intense aromas and balance.
The estate's grape varieties
Reds & Rosés. Syrah, black Grenache and Cinsault.
Whites. Viognier, white Grenache, Marsanne and Roussanne.
Each grape finds a suitable soil and slow ripening here, giving generous, refined wines, faithful to their Grignan-les-Adhémar appellation.
The cellar: between tradition and technological mastery
The harvest begins in mid-September with the white grapes, followed by the reds in late September. Picking is 75% mechanical and 25% by hand for the old vines. Winemaking takes place in a semi-buried cellar, designed for thermal control and the purity of the wine:
Concrete tanks. For their natural inertia and neutrality, favouring a gentle clarification.
Stainless-steel tanks with cooling jackets. Ideal for whites and rosés vinified at low temperature (14°C).
Oak barrels. For ageing the premium reds and whites, which gain in roundness and complexity.
An independent oenologist supports the estate through to bottling, carried out on site to guarantee perfect traceability.
