Drawn to the town of Berlou for the proliferation of super-old vine Carignan that surrounded the village, Jean-Marie Rimbert had already completed a stint at Chateau de Flaugergues before purchasing what is now his eponymous domaine. Working with organically grown grapes, Rimbert uses indigenous yeasts, gravity flow and only a light filtration on his mineral-rich cuvées.
