Discover an exceptional estate and vineyard in the heart of the Dentelles de Montmirail
Coyeux Estate
Coyeux Estate
The alliance of history and terroir
Owned by the Maisons & Vignobles Strasser-Radziwill group since 2022, Domaine de Coyeux, nestled at the foot of the Dentelles de Montmirail, extends over 120 hectares in one piece, within the Beaumes-de-Venise wine appellation area.
In this superb natural environment, the estate is made up of woods, scrubland and vines.
The Domaine de Coyeux vineyard stretches across the Triassic geological formation, a very ancient soil that gives the wines exceptional quality. The first vines at Domaine de Coyeux date back to the 1950s.
Today, the wines come from a vineyard aged 40 to 70 years and from more recent plots.
The estate benefits from the natural shelter of the hillside. Its southern exposure provides ideal sunshine. At an altitude of 300 meters, the temperature is cooler, contributing to the elegance of Coyeux wines.
A commitment to sustainable and respectful viticulture
Here, Isabelle and Arnaud Strasser produce and mature natural sweet wines under the Muscat Beaumes-de-Venise appellation, AOC Beaumes-de-Venise wines, IGP Méditerranée wines in white and red, and even a small production of AOC Gigondas wine. Labeled High Environmental Value and in conversion to organic farming, Domaine de Coyeux will produce its first organic vintages in 2025.
Winemaking
Vinification is the culmination of a year's work in the vineyards. Isabelle and Arnaud Strasser prioritize the production of fresh and elegant wines that express the very essence of their terroir. In the cellar, the various stages between harvest reception and fermentation vats are carried out under the supervision of the cellar master.
At the end of summer, the harvest lasts around twenty days.
Each plot is harvested by hand, according to its own maturity, several times if necessary, by harvesters responsible for sorting the bunches so as to present only ripe and perfectly healthy grapes to the crusher.
