Wine Tasting: Domaine Rouge-Bleu
Welcome to our first tasting of 2025! We are excited to start the new year off (finally!) with welcoming Thomas BERTRAND of Domaine Rouge-Bleu.
Domaine Rouge-Bleu is a husband-and-wife-run winery in the Provencal village of Sainte Cécile les Vignes in the South of France. A couple of their wines have been featured in our wine club and now is our chance to hear directly from Thomas about his and his wife Caroline's philosophy in the vineyard, cellar and what brought them to where they are today.
We will start at 6:30pm and taste though through their lineup of wine and enjoy what makes their wine so uniquely special - for one, the age of their vines, planted in 1965, 1955, 1934 and 1910 for its oldest parcels, giving us a real sense of the terroir.
You'll be treated to tasting of Domaine Rouge-Bleu wines and a small snack of cheese, prosciutto & Marcona almonds.
Please reserve your seat in advance as these events tend to sell out.

About Domaine Rouge-Bleu...
"Situated in the picturesque Provencal village of Sainte Cécile les Vignes (84-Vaucluse), we are farming 12ha of vines nestled amongst nature. The winery was built in a historical Provençale “mas” (farmhouse) dating from the 17th century which is today the family property.
In the vineyard, one of the Domaine’s particularities is the age of its old vines most of which would probably have been abandoned or replaced. Planted in 1965, 1955, 1934 and 1910 for its oldest parcels, Domaine Rouge-Bleu’s vineyards lie mostly in the Côtes du Rhône Village Sainte Cécile appellation.
Certified organic, the Domaine’s philosophy and practices today extend much further. Inspired by the fundamental principles of biodynamic farming and vinification we favour nature and traditions over farmer’s comfort.
Located beside a natural spring, source of the river Alcyon, we are gifted with both pristine water and fantastic terroir. Our Domaine’s essential goal is to preserve its complex biodiversity and bring it to the world through our wines.
To preserve soil microbial life and indigenous yeasts as well as protect our crop we banish pesticides, herbicides, and all systemic products. Only low level of copper and sulphur are used along with essential oils and natural preparations such as nettle or seaweed teas for the well-being and healthy state of our vineyards.
While Grenache “King of the South” reigns here, we also distinguish ourselves by our rare Carignan vineyards (less than 5% left in the Rhône Valley) essential to the character and unusual freshness of several of our cuvées. We also cultivate Syrah, Mourvèdre, Cinsault and 16 different white varieties.
Our vineyards are not irrigated and are 100% hand harvested"
