Domaine Les Teyssonnières is a family-owned property situated on twelve hectares on the slopes of the “Dentelles de Montmirail” mountains. This area is located mainly on the territory of Gigondas in the heart of the Côtes du Rhône. The vineyards enjoy a Mediterranean climate, dominated by sun and the mistral winds… these breezes, along with the western exposure, help to moderate the fluctuation in temperatures.
The estate was established in 1838. From the family’s heritage, they have retained the traditional culture of soils, the size and productivity of the old vines, vineyard management and, most importantly, in the interests of environmental protection and traceability: they practice sustainable farming.
