The house has cellars dating back to 1736. Today, Charlène, an oenologist, and Stéphan, the sixth generation of winegrowers, are the Domaine's partners. The Saint-Péray - 8 ha - and Côtes-du-Rhône vines are planted on clay-limestone soils, while the Cornas is planted on granite slopes. The total surface area of the estate is 13 ha. Charlène and Stéphan offer no less than six cuvées of Saint-Péray, including three still wines and four méthode champenoise. All cuvées are vinified and aged in vats. Legend even has it that the first bottle of Saint-Péray sparkling wine was vinified here in the mid-19th century. Here, we welcome you with patience and - above all - passion!

Owner's Message
Domaine Chaboud has been in existence since the 18th century, which is why its double-level cellars exude history. Legend has it that the first bottle of Saint-Péray sparkling wine was vinified here in the mid-19th century.
Since then, the experience of successive generations, from father to daughter, then father to son, has enabled the estate to grow. Today, Stephan Chaboud, a direct descendant of the 6th generation, manages the 13-hectare estate.
Since the beginning of June 2020, Stephan Chaboud has joined forces with Charlène Cellier, a Saint Péray native, oenologist and vineyard owner, to give the estate a new lease of life. The new entity is now called Domaine Chaboud-Cellier.
the vineyards of Saint Péray are mainly planted on gentle slopes composed of limestone and clay-limestone deposits from the Pliocene, covered with loess which benefits from climatic conditions that are highly favorable to the cultivation of white grapes.
The estate also produces Cornas, Saint-Joseph, Crozes-Hermitage and Vin de France Syrah. In total, just over 9 hectares are devoted to Saint-Peray, 1.8 hectares to Cornas and 1 hectare to Saint-Jospeh, 0.5 hectares to Crozes-Hermitage and 1.5 hectares to Vin de France.
All cuvées are traditionally vinified in vats. For the whites, fermentation temperatures are controlled. Depending on the cuvée, they are either aged in vats or finish their fermentation in French oak demi-muids. For the reds, vinification and maceration last around a month, followed by barrel ageing (around 12 to 15 months) in the estate's 18th-century ageing cellar. All these exceptional wines have stood the test of time, and there's no doubt that they're only just beginning to do so, to the delight of everyone's taste buds.
