See recent press for Domaine de l'Estel Domaine Coudoulis, which dates from the Sixties, was purchased by Bernard Callet in 1996. It is located in the Lirac appellation, on the west bank of the Rhone River, a region very similar by the nature of its soil and its climate to Châteauneuf-du-Pâpe. The terraced estate, which overhangs the village of Saint Laurent des Arbres, is composed of red, rocky soil and littered with the famous “galets roules” of the region. |

| VDP du Gard Rose (1.5 L BIB) |
| In 2005, Domaine Coudoulis in Lirac bought four hectares of vines located between the Pont du Gard and the village of Uzès contiguous to the western flank of the Rhone appellation. They now produce a delicious Rose VDP du Gard sold under the "Domaine de l'Estel" label. The Rose is a blend of equal parts of Grenache and Cinsault, made by the meticulous saignee method in which the tanks of red grape must are "bled" after a short maceration to produce a fruity and delightfully expressive rose. |
