It was in the Gard department, on the hills above Saint-Laurent-des-Arbres, just above the village castle, that Bernard CALLET and his family decided a quarter of a century ago to create a grand cru of the Rhône Valley. The beating heart of COUDOULIS lies there, on the right bank of the Rhône, at a slight elevation: a single, contiguous 28-hectare alluvial plateau.

Coudoulis Estate
Rhône Valley | France
Located on the hills above Saint-Laurent-des-Arbres, on the right bank of the Rhône, Domaine Coudoulis is one of the finest examples of the Lirac appellation. Since Bernard Callet acquired it in 1996, the estate has been guided by a strong ambition: to reveal the full potential of this still-underrated terroir and to produce wines capable of rivaling the great appellations of the Rhône Valley.
A family-owned estate in the heart of the southern Rhône
Founded in the 1960s and later taken over by the Callet family, the estate now spans a vast, contiguous 28-hectare alluvial plateau. The vines are planted on clay-limestone soils covered with rounded pebbles, typical of the great Rhône terroirs. Bathed in Mediterranean sunshine and situated at a slight elevation, they produce wines that combine power, finesse, and freshness.
Tradition and Modernity in the Service of Wine
At Domaine Coudoulis, respect for the Rhône Valley’s winemaking traditions remains essential. The grapes are harvested and carefully sorted to preserve their full quality. At the same time, in 2010 the estate completed a full renovation and modernization of its winery, enabling precision work at every stage of winemaking. This combination of traditional methods and modern tools contributes to the distinctive character of the estate’s wines: generous, elegant vintages that remain true to their terroir.
Expressive, sun-kissed wines
The estate primarily produces wines under the Lirac and Côtes-du-Rhône appellations. The blends highlight the iconic grape varieties of the southern Rhône, resulting in wines with aromas of ripe black fruits, sweet spices, and garrigue. The most ambitious vintages develop beautiful depth and remarkable aging potential, while the more accessible vintages charm with their rich, indulgent flavors and approachable character.
