Located in Castelnau d’Estretefonds, in the heart of the Fronton appellation, the domaine has been owned and operated by Cathy Ribes since 2004 (who also owns Domaine du Roc). She is constantly replacing and working the vines of varietals native to this area such as Negrette, the most noble of that region. Cathy is also working on a new cellar half of which is underground, like a cave under a cliff where they store the harvest in tanks directly by gravity.

In 2009, Cathy Ribes decided to start the organic conversion of the entire domaine which was certified in 2012. With this in mind, her wines do not see any added yeast, filtration, collage, and minimum amounts of oak aging for some cuvees. Si Noire is the flagship of the property and the result of 37 year-old vines growing on 5 acres at the highest elevation of the vineyards, adjacent to an oak forest on stony soil.

Anne is the oldest child of Frédéric and Cathy. She studied viticulture and oenology in Montpellier and is the winemaker of the estate.
