Its previous history tells of virgin territory only visited last century by shepherds coming to graze their flocks. The winding road leading to it seems lost in the wild countryside of Le <strong>Pic-Saint-Loup<\/strong>: a seamless blend of vegetable and mineral. Visitors to the area are struck by the contrast between this untamed scenery and the domesticated vineyard. It seems like the end of the world. Some will tell you that the place has a kind of magnetic attraction.<\/p>\n<h2>A singular identity<\/h2>\n<p>The young estate in the locality of <strong>La Figar\u00e8de<\/strong> needed a new name. So Sylvie decided to hold a family brainstorming session to decide on the estate&#8217;s &#8220;trademark&#8221;. After a plethora of suggestions, Sylvie&#8217;s totem animal, the owl, finally came out the winner. Unobtrusive, mischievous, intuitive and clear-sighted, this beautiful, sometimes solitary bird can see in the dark and is even credited with magical powers\u2026 And thus <strong>La Chouette du Chai<\/strong> (&#8220;The Owl of the Winehouse&#8221;) came into being.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;]\n\t<div class=\"title-subtitle-box \" style=\" padding: 90px 0 0 0px;
