    Portrait of Cécile Dusserre

    i. Biography

    Cécile Dusserre is the fifth generation of her family to lead Domaine de Montvac in Vacqueyras, in the southern Rhône, where she has directed the estate since 1991. She is the fifth generation and that her daughter Amélie is the sixth; trade and wine publications add that Dusserre began working on the estate in 1991, later converted the vineyards to fully organic farming, and became the first in the family to vinify her own wines. Domaine de Montvac’s own 2026 update says the domaine is now directed as a mother-daughter duo with Amélie Cartoux.
