In Provence, for 5 generations, at the foot of the Uchaux Massif and Mont Ventoux a familial estate invites you to discover its vineyard. Today Château Simian consists of 25 hectares of vines: 5,8 of AOC Châteauneuf du Pape, 10 of AOC Massif d’Uchaux and AOC Côtes du Rhône, and 9 of Vin de Pays.

The vineyard’s present owner, Jean-Pierre Serguier, in a constant search for quality, makes every effort to work in perfect harmony with nature.

In 2008, we began to take an organic and bio-dynamic approach to the running of the vineyard: wherever possible, interventions are made taking into account cosmic cycles and the rhythms of nature. Three years are required for the conversion to organic production, which means that 2011 will be the first vintage to carry the distinction « organic » and “Biodynamic” too.

This approach, along with the judicious choice of 18 noble grape varieties, and the savoir-faire of the winemaker, contributes to the wines’ exceptional quality: balanced, rich in colour and aroma, with silky tannins.

Because a Châteauneuf-du-Pape is meant to be shared, join the GANG, the crew for those who have Châteauneuf-du-Pape under their skin ! Here, you will discover our privileged experiences in the vineyard, private tastings, events in preview, … We will also talk about wines as we always have, with frankness, passion, and generosity.

As the first AOC wine in France in 1936, the 3,150 hectares of the appellation extend over 5 communes: Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Bédarrides, Courthézon, Orange, and Sorgues. With 300 harvest declarants, the appellation produces an average of 90,000 hectoliters per vintage, or about 12 million bottles, distributed to 93% for red wines and 7% for white wines. Benefiting from a unique natural heritage, the AOC relies on 13 grape varieties, 5 distinct terroirs, and an exceptional climate, marked by sun and mistral, to produce exceptional wines distributed mainly for export (66% of volumes in 2021). Historically and continuously committed to sustainable development issues, 35% of the AOC’s surfaces are managed in organic or biodynamic agriculture.
