Domaine de la Renaudie
An estate that consistently wins the enthusiasm of our members, Domaine de la Renaudie is in fact itself owned by a family of wine enthusiasts in the form of husband-and-wife partnership Patricia and Bruno Denis and their daughter Charlotte. It was established in 1928 by Albert Denis, with just two hectares.
Charlotte returned to the family domaine in 2016 to take over the winemaking from Patricia and Bruno, who still prefers his work in the vineyards. This is a modest family-run operation, but one that has worked hard over the years to develop the quality and character of their wines, drawing on their experience further afield in the industry (Patricia trained in Bordeaux, Charlotte did placements in Rutherglen and the Cape). Their intentions are simple: to make elegant wines that will bring pleasure to lovers both of wine and of life.
