Ere Brunel, the wife of Patrick Brunel (Gardine) is the winemaker at Chateau Saint Roch.

Arriving from N580 (easiest way to find it) you will find two domains (in one building it seams) Chateau Saint Roch and Domaine Oualou / Vignobles Assémat
When the buildings were erected they constituted one domain, but after the deaths of a owner the heirs could not find a better solution than divide the cellar
by building a wall inside to create two zones. Today, the two owners from different families live well together, but there were certain disputes in the past.
Arriving from Roquemaure, you only see Saint Roch, and you will only discover the other domain, if you seek for it looking around a corner.
