History of Domaine Rimbert
Jean-Marie Rimbert has been running his estate with passion and generosity since 1996. “Savour life’s pleasures rather than drink life away” is the motto embraced by the domaine. He is a winegrower who loves sharing his savoir-faire, his ideas, his convictions, his touch of madness — and above all, his emotions.
The estate’s cellar, dating from the turn of the 20th century, has retained the authentic character of the small wine cellars of the local hinterland. Half-buried and built from sandstone and red brick from Cessenon, it benefits from natural temperature control, allowing high-quality wines to be produced without relying on the most advanced technology.

The wines of Domaine Rimbert
At the foot of the Cévennes, in Berlou, the Haut-Languedoc Regional Nature Park stretches across a natural landscape of garrigue and rugged hillsides. It is here that the vines of Domaine Rimbert grow.
The estate covers 28 hectares of old vines planted on steep hillside plots known locally as “travers”. In 2000, Jean-Marie Rimbert also planted 7 hectares of young vines. The domaine is made up of around 40 plots spread within a 10 km radius of the village, with a variety of soils, exposures, grape varieties and vine ages, allowing the production of a diverse range of cuvées. -
