Domaine De Vinceline - Vincent & Céline Dauby
Vincent DAUBY, originally from Eze, went to the vineyard out of passion. He obtained a BTS in viticulture and oenology then cut his teeth in Alsace and especially in the Var, before settling as an associate farmer on a Bellet estate in Nice.
It was following his meeting (by selling him his wine!) With Céline YERCHOFF, a Nantes resident who had come to settle in Nice, that together, they created their own domain (hence the name of the domain which is a contraction of their first names).
Starting from nothing, the DOMAINE de VINCELINE was created in stages. After buying land and some equipment, followed by planting the first vines, they had 2 daughters: Constance & Clémentine, then started building their wine and olive cellar. Céline also trained at the Antibes agricultural school in order to be fully involved in the farm.
It is thus a close-knit family that cultivates:
- 4000m2 of "Rolle", (or "Vermentino", local white grape), 1500 m2 of Grenache
and 2500m2 of Folle Noire (indigenous red grape variety), in AOP Bellet;
- 250 olive trees in PDO Nice olive of the Cailletiers variety: the main variety for the production of PDO olives and oil.
With its wines and its oil, the DOMAINE de VINCELINE represents the two PDOs of the Alpes-Maritimes department.
From the start, they have worked with respect for their soils, their products and their environment. They are therefore certified Organic Agriculture - "AB".
The DAUBY family awaits you to share a convivial moment in their micro DOMAINE de VINCELINE in an authentic and warm atmosphere in the middle of the vineyards, with a breathtaking view from Cap d'Antibes to Mercantour, via the Baou de St Jeannet ... Visits and tastings of the estate's products are possible every day, subject to availability, including weekends and public holidays. (Better to call before)
