HIGHLY ACCLAIMED ROUSSILLON WINES BY
JONATHAN HESFORD & RACHEL TRELOAR

about us

We, Jonathan Hesford and Rachel Treloar founded this 10ha estate in 2006 in Trouillas which is situated in the Aspres hills of the Roussillon, considered by many to be France's most exciting wine region.

Here in the Occitanie region, we bring together a passion for great wine, new world innovation and the wonderful local terroir.

Our aim is to make the best wines possible from every vintage. Jancis Robinson MW consistently includes us among her top Roussillon producers.

Our path was rather unusual. We lived and worked within 500m of the Twin Towers on September 11 2001 and experiencing that event made us rethink our life and provided the catalyst to make our dream a reality.

OUR WINES

We produce 14 different wines exclusively from our vineyards. Some of the wines are made in small quantities and only in certain years and sell out quickly. Our wine is exported to many countries but sold only by independent wine merchants.
