The family vineyards of Domaine du Bosc Rochet are cared for with passion and love for the land by Michael and Christine Barthes who produce unpretentious and generous wines. Three generations have worked this rugged thirty hectare property nestled on one side on the plateau of Cazelles, with diverse soils and a rolled pebble surface. The Domaine du Bosc Rochet is based on essential values, starting with respect for the sacred bonds that unite the family, whereby the vineyard is viewed as a gift from one generation to the next.
