Anne Pichon and her late husband, Marc, started an agrarian-bohemian life together in the 1990’s when they moved into an abandoned farm house at the base of Mont Ventoux. The began to resurrect the a defunct domaine called Murmurium, meaning “the buzzing song of bees.” And while the 15 hectare vineyard was in poor shape, the site was properly organic for many years leading up to Anne and Marc’s stewardship. Today, Anne produces no more than 40 barrels of wine along with her sister-in-law Véronique who manages the commercial affairs. The wines themselves are named “Sauvage” (meaning wild) inspired by the Pichons’ respect for and attachment to nature.

The micro-climate Anne Pichon’s vineyard is dry, with cool, manually tilled soils that retain moisture when it rains. And because of the Mistral that sweeps up from the hills below, fruit is less susceptible to rot and disease, providing and ideal environment for organic viticulture. Employing careful vineyard management, low yields and late harvesting, Pichon hand-harvests and destems all of the fruit. 

Intense aromatic nose of white flowers, citrus and exotic fruits. Crisp and delicate with strong minerality and a fresh orchard fruity finish.
