In 1997 Domaine la Destinée was created. The small estate covers 1,5 ha of Chateauneuf du Pape and 4,5 ha of Cotes du Rhone and IGP.

At the domain's website you find an explanation of the domain name and the names of the different cuvées

"A Châteauneuf du Pape and Côtes du Rhône that have a history.

Why Châteauneuf du Pape Destinée? There was our destiny: to found a domain together. The wind rose with an elongated tip to the south symbolizes our installation in Côtes du Rhône meridional. (Southern Rhone)

Why Côtes du Rhône  A la Gloire de nos pères ? Pierre's dad died a year after our installation, Sandrine's dad who died too young, was a winegrower in Beaujolais. We wanted to pay tribute to them by creating "To the glory of our fathers".

Why Côtes du Rhône Le Bonheur est dans les vignes"? When assembling our very first wine we wanted to wink at the trigger movie of our new life. Life in the rhythm of nature and vines, in the heart of Provence.

Why Vin de Madame et Vin de Monsieur ? The idea is part of an old label. Pierre's passion for the wine world began as a teenager with a collection of wine labels. One of them, from the 50's, was called Monsieur's wine and pleased Pierre a lot. Not being misogynous we created "Lady's Wine, Monsieur's Wine"
