Champ des soeurs

Located between Narbonne and Perpignan, Champ des Sœurs spans approximately 17 hectares of vineyards situated right by the sea. The estate is steeped in a long history of winemaking, as the family has been involved in the Fitou vineyards for many generations.

The vineyard is managed with exclusively hand-harvested grapes and particular attention paid to the ripeness of the grapes. The wines are produced under various appellations, including Fitou, Corbières, and Muscat de Rivesaltes, as well as white and red local wines. A plot of Muscat Petit Grain, which enjoys particularly good exposure, is often harvested very early, which helps preserve its freshness and aromatic precision.

In the cellar, winemaking is characterized by minimal intervention, with no sulfites added during fermentation and only very small amounts added before bottling. This approach aims to preserve rich, accessible, and distinct flavor profiles while respecting the expression of the grapes and the terroir.

For several years now, the estate has also been conducting experiments with aging, notably by submerging bottles in marine or lake environments at various sites in the Mediterranean, off the coast of Brittany, and in Auvergne. These trials have made it possible to observe the impact of aging conditions on the development of the wines and to adjust certain practices, particularly regarding oxidative protection. These experimental vintages are, for the time being, intended for specific distribution channels.

The work of Le Champ des Sœurs offers a unique perspective on the Mediterranean region of Languedoc, combining winemaking tradition, meticulous winemaking techniques, and measured experimentation with new aging methods.
