Anne Pichon estate is located in Mormoiron, at the bottom of Mont Ventoux. The estate was taken over by Marc and Anne Pichon in 2008. The vineyards are certified Organic since the beginning. Marc passed away in 2016 and his sister Veronique Pichon took up the torch to continue the tremendous efforts Marc had achieved in the vineyard and cellar. The estate consists today of 50 hectares.

Carefully and manually managing the estate’s rows of native Rhône grape varieties, Anne keeps yields low and production small—producing no more than 40 barrels per year. She named her wines Sauvage, which translates to “wild,” inspired by her deep affection for the nature in these untamed hills. Like the foothills of Mont Ventoux, the wines are pure, dynamic, and refreshing.
