The Domaine de Saint Clément is a small, family-run 10-hectare estate located at the foot of the Pic Saint-Loup, in Saint-Clément-de-Rivière (Hérault). Henri Bernabé, a former nurseryman passionate about viticulture, had a dream as he approached retirement: to continue his lifelong love affair with vines and wine. After spending his professional life travelling the world to produce and sell vine plants, he decided to revive the vineyards of Domaine de Saint Clément, which had ceased wine production after the devastating frosts of 1956.

In 2025, the estate chose to convert to biodynamics, a confident transition made in full awareness of the challenges it entails. This profound change aims to strengthen soil vitality, encourage deep rooting, and guide the vine towards a more natural balance. In both vineyard and cellar, only natural preparations are now used: herbal teas, decoctions, silica, biodynamic preparations, and strictly limited quantities of copper and sulphur.
