A family estate and exceptional wines
The story of a meeting...
…The meeting of two men united by an exceptional terroir and who share the same passion for wine. It is the story of two pioneers seeking to open up new avenues while respecting traditions. And of two people who value strong, sincere relationships, doing good, and living well.
A rich land
When David discovered Theizé, he was immediately won over by the beauty of its old, golden stone houses in perfect harmony with the landscape. Perched on a hill, in the heart of the vineyards, in a bold and passionate landscape, this village had all he needed to inspire him. He sensed it and knew he had to settle there, where he could really cultivate his love of vines and wine and give free rein to his ideas.
I felt like I belonged to this land; I had finally come home.

They talk about us
Wood and wine in dialogue
Tonnellerie rousseau
Tonnellerie Rousseau is, first and foremost, a family story. Several generations have worked here since 1954. Today, the cooperage is run by brothers Jean-Christophe and Frédéric Rousseau.
It’s also a story of passion, passion for wood and passion for exceptional wines. Wood, because this living, generous, complete material expresses character and tells a whole story. Wine, because the cooper is the first oenologist of a cuvée. In dialogue with the winemaker and owner, the cooper provides the first notes. Together, they imagine a path, and it is he who opens the way.
"When you hear wood creak, sometimes it sounds as if it is crying, and sometimes as if it is singing... wood always has something to tell us."
David Garde
The wine breathes
Nomacorc bouchon
The pioneering spirit is not to be denied – nothing is off-limits. So why not replace traditional corks with Nomacorc corks. These corks have such qualities!
Firstly, they provide more aeration for exceptional wines once they have been bottled. The wine can quietly continue to improve while retaining its freshness. Then there are no more problems with corked wine… and no more wasted evenings! Finally, because they are made from recycled sugar cane fibre, they help to protect our environment, and we can be proud of that, too.
