List of products by brand Domaine des Escaravailles

Perched on the heights of Rasteau, Domaine des Escaravailles is an exceptional family estate managed by Gilles Ferran. The name "Escaravailles" (beetle in Occitan) honors the black-robed monks who farmed this land in the 17th century. This 65-hectare estate is renowned for its remarkably concentrated wines, blending Rhone power with high-altitude freshness.

Altitude Serving Rasteau

Domaine des Escaravailles stands out with its unique terroir located on the highest slopes of the Rasteau appellation (up to 350 meters altitude). This privileged geographic position helps maintain natural acidity and rare elegance in a region often characterized by heat.

The Ferran Expertise:

• Terroir: Rugged landscape composed of blue and yellow marl, perfect for Grenache, Syrah, and Carignan.

• Viticulture: Meticulous vineyard work, hand-harvesting, and strict sorting to keep only the finest berries.

• Wine Styles: The estate produces deep reds (Cairanne, Rasteau, Côtes-du-Rhône), fresh mineral whites, and the famous Vins Doux Naturels (VDN) of Rasteau.

Under the leadership of Gilles Ferran and his daughters, the estate remains at the pinnacle of the Southern Rhone Valley hierarchy, with wines consistently praised by international critics.
