The Domaine des Maravilhas faces the Châteauneuf-du-Pape valley and was created in 1967 by a vigneron, coming from the Oran region in Algeria. His elders taught him to work the vines with their future in mind, and he opted wisely to not use any kind or herbicides : that lead to the organic conversion in 1992, and the biodynamic certification in 2004. Since 2014, the estate is conducted by Jean-Frederic and Morgane Bistagne, following the biodynamic principles.
Presentation
For them, biodynamic viticulture is an essential support tool. It brings balance to the vine between the earth, the plant and its environment, and preserves the living organisms that benefit it. Organic treatments with plants and minerals contribute to natural defenses and deep, healthy roots to draw on the energy needed for harmonious development.
