Domain information:
Located near Pézenas, this pleasant family business is currently run by mother Anne, father Christian, son Benoit, and daughter Margot. It was great-grandfather De Sutra Germa who founded the domain in 1920. In 2000, Anne and Christian built their own cellar and the conversion to organic farming took place.
Son Benoit studied oenology and completed various internships in places such as America and Argentina before becoming a key figure within the company. Benoit has since taken over the business and leads the domain with the same passion and dedication as the generations before him.
