Christelle and Philippe Viret at a tasting at the
terrasse of the domain in July 2015
 "By placing cosmic posts and markings, we can capture a powerful and balanced energy, and we can select cosmic rays to address our goal." This universal philosophy known from the old Inca and Maya civilizations can be seen in the architecture of the buildings of the domain - built in 1999. The cellar was built of stones from the area around Remoullins the same kind of stones used by the Romans to build Pont du Gard, the famous aqueduct. The single stones were numbered so that they could be placed in the same order as they originally had been when they were cut out of the quarry. |
At the top of the cellar the grapes goes into the fermentation tanks.
The roof is at the same level as the ground behind the cellar bilding.
Fron the reception the must and grapes are distributed to the fermentation tanks
just under the roof - or to other vessels for fermentation
Below the steel tanks you find the
cement tanks.The column is situated
in the center of the building.
The water coming from a
source just below the
basement runs constantly upwards
out of the column and down at
the outside.
An amphora is in Latin called a dolia
- this term is used for the name of the wines fermented and/or aged in
amphoras.
The amphoras at Domaine Viret is made by a potter
living in Seguret, Alain
Berthéas
