 The V1th century chapel " Notre Dame de Cousignac " has been keeping a watchful eye on the Domaine of the same name since it was founded in 1780. Today, the sixth and seventh generations of the same family - Pierre Pommier and his two sons Andéol and Raphael, are still running it.
Geographically the vineyard is in a very special place: the lower valley of the Ardèche, about 10 kilometres (6 miles) north-east of the gorges of the Ardèche river. It's a region where nature is powerful, rugged and authentic.
In May 2004, Ogier Caves des Papes reinforced its already strong involvement in the property by acquiring 40% of the shares in the SCEA Domaine Notre Dame de Cousignac.
Sales at the property from 15:00 hours - 19:00 hours
