Maybe the oldest vineyard of Gigondas as the vines are about 120-years-old and have not been grafted as nearly all European vines after the phylloxera in the 1860'ties.


The linden at the courtyard is called The three of liberation as It was planted just after the French revolution .


A part of the cellars at Tessonnieres is underground. The stones at the grass are marking the walls. To the right you see the entrance.
