Christian Roche’s family has a long history of grape growing in Monbazillac near Bergerac. His grandfather was part of a group that bought Chateau du Monbazillac to form the local co-operative. His parents revitalised the nearby rectory in 1946 and in 1968 left the co-operative to produce the first vintage of Domaine De L’Ancienne Cure.
Christian has adopted biodynamic principles in the vineyard. Vintage is an intensive time; hand picking and hand sorting of the Botrytis affected grapes ensure concentrated flavours in the complex wines of Domaine De L’Ancienne Cure.
