A historic wine estate of Vinsobres appellation in Southern Rhône Valley since the 1920’s, this family estate of 48 hectares between vines and olive trees has been certified organic farming since the 2023 vintage. They mainly produce red wines in AOP Vinsobres, Côtes du Rhône Villages, Côtes du Rhône red and white, as well as rosé IGP Méditerranée.

After studying oenology and viticulture, Valerie Chaume-Arnaud took over the 5 hectares of vines belonging to her parents in 1987. Along with husband Philippe, they extended the vineyard bit by bit to its current size of 40 hectares, in the cru Vinsobres in South Rhône Valley. The vineyard is located on calcareous clay, stony slopes at 400m altitude. They have been organically farming their vines since 2003 and moved towards a biodynamic approach in 2004. Chaume-Arnaud wines are a model of subtlety and elegance: the reds are rounded, velvety, complex and fruity.

One of their main values is shared generational knowledge, passion and respect for the terroir which is unique to Vinsobres. The estate of 88 hectares is divided into two parts. The majority is located at an average altitude of 400m on clay-stony hillsides, the other portion is planted around the family estate at an average altitude of 200m. The altitude produces natural freshness and drinkability, a signature of all the wines. The Autrand family strives in improving winemaking methods and vineyard management to further enhance the quality of the wines as it passes from one generation to the next.

Established in Vacqueyras in 1717, they are one of the oldest family-owned wineries in the Rhône Valley. For nearly three centuries, they have upheld the art of viticulture and winemaking with respect for ancestral traditions. Today, Jean-François Arnoux, the 13th generation of winemakers, continues to carry forward this family legacy with passion and dedication. Thanks to this extensive experience, they offer authentic wines, whether from their 18-hectare family estate (Château Lestours Clocher), their grape purchases, or their selections.
