Domaine Cambrian
In Australia, in Heathcote, Victoria, Domaine Cambrian is less a conventional winery than a meeting point of philosophies. Born from Michel Chapoutier’s partnership with Ron and Elva Laughton of Jasper Hill in the early 2000s, it is rooted in the region’s ancient red Cambrian soils.
Basalt-derived earth and low-yielding vines set the foundation, so decisions revolve around restraint: meticulous hand picking, gentle extraction, and time as the key ingredient. Long macerations and élevage in French oak are used for structure and longevity, never as a flavour shortcut.
The result is a Syrah/Shiraz narrative that feels both Rhône-trained and unmistakably Australian—focused, muscular yet controlled, with mineral tension holding everything in place. Domaine Cambrian sells through authenticity, because the story is written by soil, not by slogans.Domaine Cambrian
