In 1985, Paul and Edith Chaudiere left their jobs
in private industry (she was a voice therapist and he was a physical
therapist) to study wine at one of France’s top wine universities at
Suze la Rousse. 1989 marked the creation of the property in
Mormoiron, one of the tiny villages dotting the beautiful
countryside under the Mont Ventoux. Since then, they have been
pushing the quality envelope in the zone, forcing other growers to
raise quality as well. The property has now grown to 72 hectares.
