Domaine Houchart is today owned by Genevi?ve, the wife of J?r?me Quiot, having been originally acquired by her great-grandfather. During the period of the 1850's, Aurelien Houchart was an energetic proprietor and negociant in wine, and created one of the largest domaines in Provence. Amongst the friends of Aurelien Houchart was the famous painter Cezanne, who frequently came to visit. They both remembered their time at school together.

Subsequently his domaine was divided between the five children, with Hilaire Houchart, Genevi?ve Quiot's grandfather inheriting 123 acres of vines , the cellars and other agricultural buildings. In 2002 J?r?me Quiot bought the Domaine de Verlaque. This 74 acres Domaine was owned by the Houchart family from 1898 till 1941.

The colour is salmon, light pink rose. The aromas show fresh strawberries, cranberry and hints of white pepper. The palate is where the romance is. The texture is crisp almost crunchy, which brings out the fresh strawberry and red tree fruit characters. This wines truly refreshes the palate? and soul.
