Domaine La Rocalière

The product of three generations, Domaine la Rocalière was founded in 1995 by Jacques Borrelly, and his father, Armand Maby. The estate has become a ‘women’s business’ since 2009, as it is managed by his daughter, Séverine Lemoine, with the help of her sister, Mélanie. The cellar is located at the entrance to the village Tavel in the southern Rhône region, and their 15 hectares of vines are distributed throughout the Tavel and Lirac appellations, along with some in the commune of Pujaut. They produce their stunning red, white, and rosé wines from vines with an average age of 30 years.

Concerned with preserving their heritage, the vineyard is managed with the greatest respect for the environment. The vineyard engages organic farming practices and has been certified biodynamic since 2020.

Domaine la Rocalière’s farming is done as traditionally as possible and is guided by their desire to allow the grapes to communicate the richness of their terroir while preserving the landscape. Most of the work is done manually, and they consciously limit the scale of their operations. Everything is done in their vineyards with the utmost respect for nature and is managed using organic farming practices which are based on the anticipation of the weather. This requires a permanent presence and attention year-round to the vines and listening to the soil. The work of the soil and the protection of the vineyard are considered jointly.
