Domaine UMA Winery / Agence Clausel-Borel Architecte

In The Heart Of The "Pic Saint Loup" Protected Designation Of Origin Lands - The Domaine UMA  has an exceptional setting, with vineyards and garrigue as far as the eye can see, facing the Hortus and Pic Saint-Loup mountains, the Château de Montferrand and the Chapelle d'Aleyrac, the former quarry from which the Domaine's stone comes. A place bathed in shimmering, ever-changing light, each time revealing the landscape from a new angle. Add to this the different seasons and colors, and you have an enchanting, yet different view every time. So, when you arrive at the Domaine, you enter a timeless place, far from the hustle and bustle of the city, surrounded by this magnificent landscape. The Domaine's simple, solid-stone buildings are typical of the region and similar to those found in the Cévennes. Its imposing scale reflects the original use of the site, as a former silkworm farm built at the end of the 19th century. The double-U floor plan opens onto two wind-protected courtyards. Transformed and divided into two wineries over the course of its history, Domaine Uma is today the result of the merger of two ancestral vineyards: Château Cambon and Domaine de Valcyre.
