Implanted in Vinsobres, in the heart of Drôme Provençale, Domaine Autrand is the result of a family passion deeply rooted in the land. Initially established as a mixed-farming estate, the Autrand family turned to viticulture following the historic frost of 1956, a decisive turning point in the history of the estate.

In 1973, Paul Autrand passed on the first vineyards to his son Louis, the first winemaker of the family. In 2002, his daughter Christine Aubert took over the family estate, becoming one of the first women to lead a winery in Vinsobres. Today, she represents the third generation, joined in 2008 by her son Aurélien, making Domaine Autrand an estate now run by a mother and her son.

The vineyard is located exclusively within the commune of Vinsobres, on clay and stony hillsides at varying altitudes. Mostly planted after 1956, the vines now average around 45 years of age, bringing depth and balance to the wines.

Since 2019, the estate has relied on a new winery, providing optimal conditions for vinification and aging. Faithful to their terroir yet open to evolution, Christine and Aurélien work hand in hand to craft sincere, expressive wines that truly reflect the identity of Vinsobres, a Rhône Valley Cru since 2006.

In 2019, the Aubert family, led by Alain Aubert and his three children, acquired the estate and continue to uphold this centuries-old tradition with passion. A deliberately limited production allows for the crafting of fruit-driven, refined yet structured red wines with excellent aging potential, as well as rare and expressive white wines, highly appreciated by discerning wine lovers.

With nearly four centuries of history, Château la Courançonne is one of the emblematic estates of the Plan de Dieu. First mentioned in 1631, when the Carthusian monks authorized the cultivation of vines, the estate was later developed by the Bishops of Orange, who established it as a renowned terroir. After the French Revolution, it was acquired by Sieur Correnson, who gave the estate the name it still bears today.

Located in Violès, in the heart of the Southern Rhône Valley, the estate covers 69 hectares, including 50 hectares in AOC Côtes du Rhône Villages Plan de Dieu, complemented by parcels in AOC Rasteau and AOC Côtes du Rhône Villages Séguret. The distinctive character of this vineyard lies in its rounded pebble soils, remnants of the ancient Rhône River, which store and release solar heat, lending the wines both power and elegance.

Château la Courançonne embodies the successful union of an exceptional historical heritage and modern family know-how, producing wines that are deeply connected to their terroir.
