➔ ABOUT THE PRODUCER
Created in 1989, Domaine de Pignan can trace its origins back to an estate called Domaine Antoine Pecoul, which has been producing wines in Chateauneuf du Pape since 1855. This family estate is now under the care of Frederic Charvin (the fourth generation). Frederic lovingly maintains his family’s 15 hectare estate of 25 different vineyard plots- all of which are located in the Chateauneuf du Pape appellation (many of them in THE best sites).
