Vines
From vines submerged to grafted vines, from goblet-trained vines to trellised vines, from complete plowing to cover crops, from Aramon to Malbec...
Tavernel has adapted its vineyard over time through viticultural crises, advances in research, and its own convictions.
Wine
If the lovely Aramon rosé of the past has been advantageously replaced by the Caladoc-Syrah rosé, and if technology has greatly improved the quality of our wines... There remains a timeless foundation, 'Order and cleanliness,' a golden rule for all the winemakers of Tavernel!
Family
Since 1925, from great-uncle to nephew, from father to son, from father to daughter, from mother to son, always the same love for our estate, the same joy of living there, and the same hope of passing it on...

Here we are!
Vines, wine, family…
Since 1925, we are a family business proud to present our organic wines from the IGP Gard and Bouches-du-Rhône regions.
In 2019, Thomas COMPAGNE's arrival marked the fifth generation to take the reins of the Domaine de Tavernel.
Preceded by his mother, Denise COMPAGNE, who was a nurse and with whom he currently collaborates, Thomas thus continues the family legacy initiated by his ancestors Auguste PAUL, known as 'Paul the Rich,' and Marcel AMPHOUX, a self-taught enlightened man, followed by his grandfather Pierre AMPHOUX, a country doctor.
These five generations of winemakers from such diverse backgrounds and deeply attached to the vine and wine have helped shape today's TAVERNEL, which we are pleased to lead and share with you!
Our philosophy
Vines, wine, family…
Growing vines while respecting the earth,
Offering wines that make you want to share them,
Managing our estate to support our families and those of our colleagues,
Working with calmness, good intelligence, trust, and benevolence...

Not always so simple!
