Domaine de la Coquillade is a Rihs family estate in Provence, transformed by Andy Rihs from 2006 and continued by his sons Oliver and Tobias since 2018. Its organically certified vineyards, awarded French AB certification in 2022, are being progressively converted to biodynamic farming under Frank John, with a focus on biodiversity, soil health, natural cycles, and reduced carbon impact. The wines are made with indigenous yeasts and spontaneous malolactic fermentation in stoneware, wood, and concrete vessels, without fining or conventional filtration.
