, 35 km from Notre-Dame and 20 min from Paris.
The start of a new era.
the story begins in a small village...
A historical and natural heritage and once the hunting ground of the kings of France, the Versailles plain stretches across the Yvelines between the Château de Versailles to the east and the Mauldre valley to the west.
The village of Davron has been home to iconic residents such as Claude de Bullion, Louis XIII's Superintendent of Finances, and the Duchesse de la Vallière, Louis XIV's first mistress.

La Bouche du Roi - Since 1588
It all began 400 years ago, when the art of living in the Yvelines region enjoyed worldwide renown. Since 1588, a handful of sommeliers and cupbearers have been selecting and guaranteeing the quality of the wines served at Versailles, known as La Bouche du Roi.
The quality of the gastronomy and the prestige of the ceremonies have been recognized the world over ever since. The name "Domaine de La Bouche du Roi" is a nod to the region's golden age of wine.

THE VINEYARD, TASTE AND ENERGY OF A PLACE
Producing wines that represent their terroir, discovering new typicity for grape varieties that will flourish in new latitudes. This has been the team's vision since the Domaine was founded.
The vineyard is set up under the banner of balance, and biodiversity has taken shape on a 26-hectare single plot with a grove at its center. The vineyard plot is located on a plateau at altitude (+140m), giving the vineyard excellent exposure to the wind, which aerates the grapes during the final ripening stage and protects them from spring frosts.
In the heart of the Versailles plain, the energy of the place is there.

Île-de-France reconnects with its winemaking heritage
At the end of the 18th century, Île-de-France was the largest winegrowing region in France, with vines covering 45,000 ha - more than the area of Burgundy today.
Domaine de la Bouche du Roi is writing its history from scratch, with solid know-how and a wine idea that is resolutely of its time.

Viticulture in Yvelines: The Northern Bet
Adrien Pélissié, Julien Bengué and Julien Brustis have taken up the northern challenge by setting up a vineyard on the Versailles plain. The aim: to produce well-balanced wines from grape varieties whose need for warmth and sunshine is just met by the local climate, in order to develop a unique typicity.
The first cuvées of Chardonnay, Chenin, Merlot and Pinot Noir allow you to discover the typicity of the local terroir with great French grape varieties vinified separately. Finesse, balance and purity of fruit are the watchwords of our teams throughout the year.

OUR COMMITMENTS
| Organic farming and biodiversity "There can be no great wine without healthy grapes". The viticultural philosophy is that of organic farming, ideal for this historically fallow plot. The soil is poor and draining. This has made it possible to implement farming without fertilizers or pesticides. This commitment to healthy practices is reflected in the planting of hedges of local species, the maintenance of a wooded refuge area for wildlife in the middle of the plot, and the historic low stone wall that delimits the bottom of the plot before a wood. The vineyard is in balance with its biodiversity-rich environment. |
| Innovation Respect for tradition does not prevent the estate from asserting itself at the cutting edge of technology. It is one of the first estates in France to test the Ted autonomous robot from Naïo Technologies. Electrically powered and ultra-lightweight, it can work the soil between the feet without compacting it. This robot is part of a global approach to weed control, inter-row sowing, water and erosion management. A music box has also been installed in the rows by the Genodics company. A team of researchers is experimenting with the diffusion of melodies that stimulate the synthesis of proteins involved in the vine's natural defenses against disease. |
