Domaine la Manarine was founded in 2001 by Gilles Gasq, a longtime assistant at Châteauneuf-du-Pape’s Domaine Monpertuis. Situated on the distinct terroir known as Le Plan de Dieu, noted particularly for its deep underlying layers of limestone galets, Gasq’s vineyards are, combined with the dry climate, perfectly suited to the Grenache and Syrah he grows. The principal Côtes-du-Rhône rouge is made entirely of Grenache, with a separate Côtes-du-Rhône Villages Le Plan de Dieu cuvée called “Terres Saintes”. The Côtes-du-Rhône blanc is a blend of Bouboulenc and Clairette.
