After studying enology, Alain Chabanon settled in Montpeyroux at the end of the 1980s. The vineyard is now spread over about 20 hectares of vines which lie on the communes of Jonquières, St André, Lagamas, St Saturnin and Montpeyroux. The domain has been certified organic since 1992 and biodynamic since 2010. Alain Chabanon produces fine, original wines, with extraordinary aging potential. This domain is one of the jewels of the appellation.

The cuvée Esprit de Font Caude is the oldest in the domain. It is raised in vats for 12 months, then 24 months in barrels. The nose is very elegant, with black fruits aromas, spices as well as musk notes. The same aromatic complexity is there on the palate, with fine tannins and a nice finish.
