2023 · Mademoiselle du Mont

Ferme du Mont is a boutique producer in France’s Rhône Valley, owned and operated by winemaker Stéphane Vedeau, a former soccer player. The estate works a mosaic of vineyards across appellations including Côtes du Rhône, Gigondas, Vacqueyras and Châteauneuf-du-Pape, with a focus on Grenache. Farming has been biodynamic since 2011, with Agriculture Biologique certification from 2014, and the domaine avoids synthetic pesticides and chemicals while fermenting with native yeasts. Its vineyard holdings have expanded over time through sites including Clos Bellane, Val des Rois and newer parcels in Rasteau. Farm activities are linked to Emmanuel Marchand under the organic certification.
