Domaine Philippe Aufranc

My grandfather acquired the estate in 1935. At the time it was a mixture of grapevines and meadows. The estate is set on sandy-granite soil in the middle of the hillside, east of the 'Madone de Fleurie' hill in a hamlet called Prion, and in 1978 the vineyard became the estate’s main activity. Today, it covers 7 hectares of land.
As the son, grandson and great-grandson of winegrowers, I came to live on the family estate in 1984, at the age of 20. The estate has been managed according to the 'Terra Vitis' agroecology approach for 20 years now.
