EARL Raspail Georges

For several years now we have made a concerted effort to use as few chemicals as possible when treating the vines, preferring natural methods. We use no insecticides or pesticides. We generally work with individual customers and a few other wine cellars.All our vinestock is planted on clay and limestone soil.At present the vineyard covers 6 hectares/14.8 acres : 4/5 are devoted to muscat and 1/5 to the clairette and aligoté varieties.

The producer

Our business has been in the family for several generations and is situated in the small village of Aurel in the Drôme.

In 1922, our great grandfather, Gédéon Raspail, was already producing Clairette which was sold in barrels at the time. In 1942 he was the first to sell it in bottles.
