Nestled in a stunning natural landscape surrounded by garrigue and truffle oak trees, Domaine Les Eminades stands as a bastion of quality in Saint-Chinian. On this arid and wild land that yields great wines, Patricia and Luc Bettoni, with their dedication to biodynamics, craft deep and delicate cuvées with perfect mastery.

Their vineyard, rich in limestone, sandstone, and rolled pebbles and planted with old vines, produces some of the most brilliant examples of Southern Mediterranean wines. These wines are precise, delicious, and complex, always true to the fruit, and have earned a one-star rating in the Guide RVF.
