Wine has been an important part of the Brotte family’s life for two centuries. Mr Amouroux and Mr Clouplet, Laurent and Christine Brotte’s respective forebears, were already working in the vineyards back in 1880, one in Châteauneuf-du-Pape and the other in Cairanne. These two winegrowers, who represent the first generation of the Brotte company, planted and then ensured the perennity of the vineyards that would later become part of Domaine Barville and Domaine Grosset.
