Winery | Saint Damien was an early Christian saint (martyred in the year 287 A.D.), considered the patron saint of doctors. A chapel was built in his honour in the tiny hamlet of La Baumette, just outside the village of Gigondas, where Joel Saurel, the domain owner, lives. In 1979, the name Saint Damien was introduced into the domain's name. Four generations have worked on this family estate since 1821, and in 2013, Romain joined his father on the estate. It has been certified organic since 2012. The Saurel family's belief in the natural expression of terroir led them to introduce "la lutte raisonnee" in 1996. The vines are cultivated using sustainable methods and reduced chemicals to respect the land and its environment. As a testament to this philosophy, the wine is certified organic. The soils are made up of limestone and clay with glacial deposits, which produce elegant wines. |
