The reputation — the story that sells at the table
The benchmark producer of Rasteau; André Romero's estate has been instrumental in building the appellation's reputation, producing consistently excellent red wines and the rare Rasteau Vin Doux Naturel from old vine Grenache.
Practice
The Domaine traces its lineage to the Barberini family of Rome, descendants of which settled in Avignon during the papal court's relocation in the 14th century. From a dowry marriage in the 17th century—Hélène Barberini to Claude Martin—emerged what became the estate; by the 18th century, ancestor Paul Martin was among France's first to bottle and export wine under the name 'Vin de la Solitude.' The modern Lançon family has stewarded the property since the 1970s, with Florent Lançon (eighth generation, since 2008) transforming it into a biodynamic exemplar.
