Domaine Pélaquié is a family-owned estate in Saint-Victor-la-Coste, on the right bank of the Southern Rhône in the Gard. The Pélaquié family has grown vines here since the 16th century, with Luc Pélaquié now leading the estate and winemaking, continuing a father-to-son tradition. The domaine is HVE-certified and farms sustainably across appellations including Côtes du Rhône, Laudun, Lirac, and Tavel. It grows a wide range of Rhône varieties, led by Grenache Noir, Syrah, Mourvèdre, Grenache Blanc, Clairette, and Viognier. Its “Cuvée Luc Pélaquié” comes from the oldest vines, with plot selection, low yields, and ageing in 500-litre oak barrels.
