In 2021, Domaine de l'Arjolle's family of partners grew with the arrival of Juliette Duby (Charles\u2019s daughter). Today, six partners are actively involved in the day-to-day running of the estate, working alongside our teams.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

RENAISSANCE OF DOMAINE DE L'ARJOLLE <\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
<\/div><\/div>\n\n

The transformation of the estate began in 1974 under the leadership of Prosper and Louis-Marie Teisserenc (grandsons of Augusta and Ernest). With the unwavering support of their wives, Rolande and Marie-Pierre, they embarked on an ambitious, highly demanding project. The two pioneering brothers created a new iteration of Domaine de l\u2019Arjolle focused on three core values - quality, diversity, and wines made for pleasure - which still guide us today. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

DOMAINE DE L'ARJOLLE EXPANDS TO POUZOLLES<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
<\/div><\/div>\n\n

In 1905, Charles' daughter Augusta Gottis married Ernest Bellet, who owned vineyards, a cellar and house in the village of Pouzolles. At that time, Domaine de l\u2019Arjolle spanned both Geniez-le-Bas and Pouzolles.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

AVANT-GARDE DISTRIBUTION<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
<\/div><\/div>\n\n

In 1881, 23 year-old lawyer Charles Gottis inherited Domaine de l\u2019Arjolle from his parents, Am\u00e9d\u00e9e and M\u00e9lanie. He developed the estate and navigated a turbulent period for Languedoc vineyards. From 1880 onwards, European vineyards were devastated by phylloxera, an aphid introduced from America. As a result, diseased vines were uprooted and vineyards were replanted with local varieties grafted onto naturally-resistant American rootstocks. Supported by his wife Emma, Charles showed great determination and implemented a pioneering system of direct sales.
\nTaking advantage of a new railway line that connected B\u00e9ziers to Neussargues (Cantal) from 1888 onwards, Charles shipped his wines in 220-litre barrels by rail from the Magalas station on this line (4 km from the estate). Nearly a century ahead of his time, he sold his wines directly to consumers (at that time, farmers in central France).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

1842<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

A MARRIAGE AND AN ESTATE<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
<\/div><\/div>\n\n

In 1842, 45 year-old Am\u00e9d\u00e9e Gottis married his first cousin M\u00e9lanie Durand, a member of family from St Geniez-le-Bas (now St Geni\u00e8s-de-Fontedit). As part of her dowry, M\u00e9lanie brought the vineyards, cellar and family home known as Domaine de l\u2019Arjolle, located in the same village.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
