Domaine Terres Blanches

The vineyards is since exploited without chemical fertilizer, without synthetic insecticide, without weed killer. These products, have been replaced by sulfur, algae or plant essences. The estate is now the property of Christian Latouche, owner of the estate of Vallongue and the Château la Genestière.

The estate of Terres Blanches proposes multiple activities to promote its production: culinary workshops, fashion shows or even open doors of the mill. A way to discover a vineyard from a less traditional angle while opening up to a larger public.
