100% Syrah

The history of Domaine Farge goes back to the 1920s when Andre Farge purchased 12 hectares of vineyards primarily in St-Joseph and began farming and selling his grapes to the cooperative. For a few generations, this practice continued even when Guy Farge took over the vineyards in 1980. Working at the Cave de Tain, the main cooperative in the region, Guy finally decided to begin vinifying some of his own grapes in 2007 after completing his oenology degree.

In 2018, Guy’s son Thomas (pictured above) joined the estate and took over the production. Thomas began the process of converting the vineyards to organic cultivation, while drawing new inspiration from some of his favorite local growers. Shifting towards practices like whole-cluster fermentation for reds, native-yeast ferments, concrete tanks and larger barrels for aging, Thomas has created a new movement at this small estate and is now making some of the most exciting wines we have seen in the region. Not only are his reds really top-tier, but Thomas makes some pretty phenomenal white wines as well. 

Terroir de Granit is a wine made from vines approximately 60 years old grown in granite soils around the village of Saint Jean de Muzols

The Domaine Farge vineyard now comprises 20 hectares of vines, spread along the Rhône Valley across four crus: Saint-Joseph (pictured above), Cornas, Saint-Péray and Condrieu.

The estate being made up mainly of terraced, steep and sloping plots, the work in the vineyard is exclusively manual, from pruning to harvesting.

In a commitment to environmentally friendly work, we have chosen to convert to organic farming.

In order to extend our philosophy to the cellar, we work our wines following the lunar calendar and limiting the use of inputs.

As true artisans of the land, we are committed to presenting unique wines, reflecting our philosophy and our plots of land.
