Domaine De La Verriere

Are the Chene Bleu wines from Domaine de la Verriere in Vaucluse closer to Provence or rather closer to the Rhone region? Some place this appellation in the Rhone region, while others in Provence, depending on which book you read. The answer can be found in the following sentence: “Some exciting Super-Rhone wines, made in Provence”. There were vineyards in Domaine de la Verriere since the 9th century, when this estate was known “to produce Provence wines better than Chateauneuf du Pape». In 1993, Xavier Rolet, the Chairman of London Stock Exchange, purchased this domaine, but the wines have not been released in the market until recently. It worth waiting, as the Chene Bleu wines have already been recognised as “Wines of Provence for the men of good taste”
