The Vessiere Estate
Chateau Vessièee is located in the south of Nimes. This eight generation old estate was founded in 1703 by Mrs Vessiere who then married Mr Teulon. Current owner Philippe Teulon obtained a degree in Enology before taking the property over in 1975 and continuing the family tradition of winemaking. He released his first vintage for private consumption in 1978, when his first son Pierre was born. In 1979, when his second son Vincent was born, he decided to sell the wines to the export market and now works with Belgium, Germany, Holland, Sweden, Russia, China, Thailand and America. Today, Philippe Teulon works with his wife and children in the family estate.
The Vessiere Vineyard
The vineyard spreads over 70 hectares of land (173 acres) and is farmed in "lutte raisonnee".
The vineyard in Costières de Nîmes is one of the oldest in France. The wine produced in this area were enjoyed by the Greeks and later by the Romans.
During the Ice Age, rocky alluvial deposits were formed in the Rhone Valley, which explains the exceptional soil found today in the region. The typical gravels (brownstone) result from the alternation of warm and cold periods during the Quaternary period. This composition allows rain water to penetrate the stones and sub soils, and provide the vines with a regular supply of water throughout the year, avoiding droughts during Summer.
The wines are always the result of carefully selected vines.
The grape varitetals for the reds and rosés are: Syrah, Grenache, Cinsault, Mourvedre and Carignan.
The grape varitetals for the whites are: Roussanne, White Grenache and Viognier.

Fenocchio DOC Barbera d'Alba Superiore Bussia is made from 100 percent Barbera.
The color is a deep ruby red with garnet reflections. It has a rather intense bouquet, with scents typical of the vine and a full bodied and dry flavor, with a distinct and pleasing acidity. It becomes mature with aging, acquiring a full and balanced flavor.
Parcel is 2.5 hectares (6.2 acres) planted at 300 meters above sea level.
It pairs well with red and white meats, tagliatelle pasta and cheeses.
From the caillottes soil type.
A Sancerre fermented and aged in amphorae, straw-colored, with full aromas and a beautiful complexity: grapefruit, honeysuckle, orange blossom and a pinch of curry. A fine sweetness coats an expressive, dynamic and juicy mouth, with a zesty accent. Complete, persistent, its place is at the table, on fish with fennel for example.
A pure expression of Sancerre’s classic terroir. Grown on the appellation’s prized Caillottes soils — shallow, stony limestone mixed with gravel — this Sauvignon Blanc delivers exceptional elegance and vibrancy. The well-draining stones promote deep rooting and early ripening, yielding a wine with bright aromatics of citrus, white peach, fresh herbs, and wet stone. Crisp, lively acidity and a refined, mineral-driven finish make this the quintessential Sancerre — refreshing, aromatic, and perfectly balanced. Ideal as an aperitif or with shellfish, goat cheese, and fresh seafood.
