The «Vieux Moulin» story started in 1870 and has taken place under the management of five generations of wine growers. As far back as 1938, Aimé Roudil set the limits of the vineyard and created the Tavel designation with Le Baron Le Roy which has become «the first rosé in France» today.

Later, having sit in the wine growers association for a long time, his grandson named Henri had the ear of the wine producers of the area and developed with dynamism and ability his growing estate «Le Vieux Moulin».

Today his daughter Véronique, his son in law Didier Jouffret and his grandson Sébastien are wonderfully settled in an avant-garde cellar, the architecture of which was inspired by the old washhouse’s in Tavel. They ideally complete the range of wines with the production of the estate, precisely called «Le Vieux Lavoir».

Combining the experience passed down by his grandfather with care and the generosity of his youth, Sébastien deals with the wine making of the two wine growing estates and offers exceptional wines stemmed from the soil in his warm and bright cellar. Tavel, Lirac, Côtes du Rhône, «Pays du Gard» wines and special reserve are elaborated in a masterly manner from Grenache, Syrah, Cinsault, Old Carignan and the surprising Cournoise with a refined flavour of liquorice.

With the Roudils and Jouffrets there is a constant search for perfection for the management of the vineyard (Didier and Justin) as well as for the conviviality in the cellar (Véronique) and for the harmony in vinification of course (Henri and Sébastien).

Guests will have great time in the cellar for sure !
