David has 18 hectares of vineyards lying on the terraces of the highly-regarded village of Beaumont Monteux, to the South of the town of Tain. David’s family used to sell their grapes to the Cooperative at Tain, but a wish to bottle his own production led him to establish his domaine in 2002. This also allowed him to farm his vineyards both organically and biodynamically, and all his wines are either certified as such or due for conversion soon.
Today Gilles Robin Estate owns a 40 years old vineyard on average which has always been treated with a great respect of the nature. Ploughed soils, use of compost and organic fertilizer, 100% manual works, organic manure, always natural and respectful of the environment. Nothing has changed in the traditional methods used by the past generations.
Owner of a 15 hectares’ property, the estate perpetuates the family tradition based on a constant research of the maximal complexity of Syrah grapes. Pursuing this goal, the estate uses Syrah grapes on the Crozes Hermitage Appelation and also on a magnificent terroir in Saint Joseph. Moreover, it also owns old vines of Marsanne grapes to get even further into this fabulous adventure in Rhone Valley.
