Domaine de Corps de Loup

The Corps de Loup Estate: a Rhône heritage passed down and preserved

Nestled on the hillside overlooking the Rhône, the Domaine de Corps de Loup is a place steeped in history. The first traces of vine cultivation here date back to the year 827, bearing witness to an exceptional terroir cultivated for centuries. In 1991, the Daubrée family purchased the estate—then abandoned—and undertook a colossal effort to restore its former glory.

For over 30 years, the Daubrée family has worked with passion to showcase the Corps de Loup terroir by crafting authentic, elegant wines. A generational transmission that preserves the estate’s founding values: respect for nature, excellence in craftsmanship, and a love of wine.

Legend has it that the last wolf of the region was slain on these very lands. This is how the area came to be known as ‘Corps de Loup’—a mysterious and evocative name, echoing the legends that still linger along the Rhône hillsides.
