The Producer

The first plot of land of this Estate was bought in 1880 at the Lieu dit « Les Bédines ». Next to the mythical Château Rayas. The children of Nathalie Reynaud are the 6th generation on Domaine L’Abbé Dîne.

For years , the grapes were brought to the coop in Chateauneuf du Pape. It’s while vinifying with a well known grower that Nathalie became fully aware of the fascinating metamorphosis of grapes to wine. It was the birth of her passion. And in 2010, it looked like an evidence. The 19 ha of this family heritage will become hers and she will ensure the continuity and the promotion of the Estate.

In 2012, Nathalie and her parents got the opportunity to purchase a tiny winemaking facility. Domaine l’Abbé Dîne was born. The name is a tribute of the first land bought in 1880.

In September 2012 : first vinification expressing the diversity of all the terroirs of Domaine l’Abbé Dîne. The majority of the old vines are sitting on a bed of sand but Nathalie also have some plots on the famous round pebbles stones’ terroir. All her wines are fruit driven. Philippe Cambie, one of the most famous wine consultant of the Rhône Valley is following Domaine l’Abbé Dîne since its creation.
