DOMAINE CONSTANT-DUQUESNOY
This estate, formerly called the Domaine Les Aussellons, was a terrific discovery last year when I tasted one of their wines. They have produced two remarkable wines in 2007 as well as a very strong effort in the more challenging vintage of 2008. - Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate
The domain was established in 2004. Until then the fields belonged to Jean Ezingard Domaine Les Aussilons. As the retirement was in sight Jean Ezingard sold his fields in Vinsobres to a Belgian business man Gérard Constant who for many years had a dream of becoming a wine grower and had been visiting wine schools in Bourgundy and in Suse-la-Rousse. Together with Denise Duquesnoy he purchased the fields in Vinsobres in 2004, 10 ha of which 7 ha has got the new AOC Vinsobres and the 3-4 ha now are Cotes du Rhone. The 7 ha of Vinsobres consist of 60% Grenache and 40% Syrah.
