Estate
0 e c t a e s o V i n e a r d s
Founded in 1896, Domaine Chante-Perdrix has grown through the generations into a 20-hectare vineyard in the heart of Châteauneuf-du-Pape.
Still family-owned and operated, the estate is driven by a single passion: crafting authentic wines that faithfully express their exceptional terroir.
Cultivated on the famous Rhône rounded pebbles, our vines, with an average age of 45 years, produce rich, powerful and beautifully balanced wines.
Blending tradition with uncompromising standards, every stage of the winemaking process is designed to reveal the unique character and quality of the estate’s wines.
