The History

Domaine des Escaravailles has been owned by the Ferran family for three generations. Founded in 1953 by Jean-Louis Ferran and his sons Daniel and Jean-Pierre. In 1999, Daniel passed the direction of the state onto his son Gilles, who still runs the estate today with his daughter.


The Philosophy

Domaine des Escaravailles’ vineyards extend over 40ha in Rasteau, Cairanna, Roaix, Villedieu and Saint Roman de Malegarde in the Southern Rhône Valley. The vines are farmed ‘in the old way’ (organically) with some Biodynamic principles being applied as well.


Come harvest, the fruit is picked by hand once optimal ripeness is achieved (but before acidity drops off). In the cellar, Gilles and his team ferment with indigenous yeasts in a whole host of different vessels (including new and old oak and concrete) as they seek to achieve complexity and balance in their wines.
