Le Cellier des Chartreux
on the Roy’s Lands

AT THE CROSSROADS between Provence and Languedoc, between Roy’s Land and the Papal City, the Cellier des Chartreux’s cooperators share a rich cultural and historical legacy.

 

The Cellier des Chartreux's origins are build around a remarkable place and history. As a reminder, two founding dates:
— 1612,After 25 years of work, the pond of Pujaut, not far from the Papal City, is finally dried up by the Chartreux, revealing a vast and fertile plain of “white lands”. The King Louis XIII gave up a part of his lands to the peasants, contributing to the boom of “Pujault”. As a consequence, the agricultural activity will continue to grow stronger.

— 1929, The year of the creation of the Syndicat Général des Vignerons des Côtes du Rhône, the Cellier des Chartreux was born, motivated by an unchanged goal: to create wines made with skills that have been passed down from generation to generation for 400 years.

TEAM SPIRIT

Audacity is the key of success for whom knows how to create opportunities

A cooperative winery, as its name implies, it is ,above all, about cooperators and their ability to create a team spirit and to share a common goal.

Combine the audacity and the creativity of a human-size company with a sens of reality and responsibilities. That is the road map of the Cellier des Chartreux. To fulfill this ambition the winery had to jungle with three diferent variables: the cooperative winery management, the vineyard  process and the market. That is why the Cellier des Chartreux is always consolidating its workforce and its creativity on three different fronts: THE VINEYARD: a qualitative and an eco-responsible management and development; THE PRODUCTION TOOL: ongoing optimisation of resources and facilities of winemaking, storage and conditioning. THE CREATIVITY: a constant willingness to provide customers peculiar and creative wines.

 

THE VINEYARD

No great wines without great grapes…

OUR EXPERTISE remains here, because at the beginning of everything there is the viticulture.  

Get the best fruits and you will get the best wine. Enjoying a 750 hectares vineyard, our winemakers, vineyard’s technicians, cellar masters and oenologists work together, driven by the same spirit: to enhance our unique terroirs resources. 

Respect strict specifications of a balanced management of our vineyard, a rigorous plots selection, a monitoring and a respect of maturity dates, night harvests for the rosé and the white wines, a qualitative assessment of the grapes content for every single cooperator, a strict management of the renewal of the vineyard... Those measures, among others, allow the Cellier des Chartreux to guarantee an optimal and adapted quality of grapes. A primary requirement that allows us to create those Sensational wines!
