DOMAINE VENDOME
Honouring the past and cultivating the future
Rooted in the heart of the Drôme for several generations, Domaine Vendome carries forward the agricultural spirit of the historic Ferme Vendome, established in Larnage over a century ago.
True to its roots, the family has long cultivated the land with care and commitment, with apricot and cherry orchards, lavender and truffles, all part of a rich and living agricultural heritage.
Since 2020, the new generation has brought fresh momentum to the estate, developing some fifteen hectares of vineyard.
A natural progression, where passion for terroir and know-how passed down from one generation to the next come together to express the identity of each individual plot.

Crozes-Hermitage
Nestled in the cru zone of Crozes-Hermitage, the estate produces wines that reflect its unique interpretation of the appellation.
Cornas
Our plot in Cornas gives us the opportunity to explore the right bank terroir of the Rhône.
Collines rhodaniennes
Covering the entire northern zone, this IGP designation allows us to express the soil-grape interplay in its purest form.
A precise plot-by-plot approach
Since 2021, Domaine Vendome has been carrying out a meticulous parcel-mapping project to:
- produce wines true to their terroir,
- reveal the soil’s influence on each grape variety,
- cultivate and vinify plot-by-plot with rigorous precision.
This technical approach reflects the estate’s ambition: to shape wines of character with a strong identity.
