Three friends, Thierry Le Pommet, a former sommelier, Daniel Orsolini, a trade buyer, and the estimable Claude Serra, a renowned professor of oenology at the university of Montpellier, joined up to create Le Plan des Moines, a boutique negociant in the Rhone, sourcing top quality fruit from hidden gems. Their almost 60 years of combined experience and taste are bringing us terrific, genuine and natural Rhone wines of remarkable complexity and balance at very affordable prices. They select the grower, supervise the harvest, wine-making, the aging and the bottling. The bottling always takes place at the property. Grapes are traditionally handpicked and carefully sorted. Priority is given to organic treatments on the vineyards and yields are limited.
