➔ ABOUT THE PRODUCER
Jean-Marie and Anne-Marie Astart family’s holdings are modest in the Cru village of Cairanne. Anne-Marie’s great-grandparents created Domaine les Hautes Cances in 1890. The land passed down through the family until it came to Anne-Marie. When she inherited the property she was already ensconced in a medical career as was her husband, Jean-Marie.
