The Domaine des Collines, a family farm in Chavannes (Drôme), has been passed down for four generations.

She diversified the crops with cherries and apricots, and expanded the vineyard from 0.5 to 7 hectares, guided by her brother-in-law Etienne Pochon. In 2003, the domaine produced its first wine, followed by bottle commercialization in 2006 and organic certification in 2010. In 2015, Christine met Sébastien, a passionate winemaker from Cornas with global experience in renowned estates. Together, they brought new energy and expertise to the estate, blending tradition with international vision.
