Domaine De La Preceptorie
Roussillon | France
Domaine de La Préceptorie is a Roussillon winery located in Saint-Paul-de-Fenouillet in the Fenouillèdes region. Founded in 2001 by former members of the Maury cooperative and the younger generation of the Domaine de la Rectorie, it is now managed by the Parcé brothers on a vineyard of approximately 30 hectares planted with Grenache, Carignan, Mourvèdre, Syrah, Macabeu, and Grenache Gris.
The estate produces a wide range of red, white, rosé, and naturally sweet wines, as well as more unusual cuvées such as dry rancio wines, with carefully controlled yields and a focus on expressing the character of the schist and clay terroir. The grapes are harvested by hand, and the winemaking process emphasizes the use of native yeasts and minimal intervention to bring out the distinctive character of the terroirs.
The estate’s wines are characterized by their freshness, aromatic precision, and ability to reflect the diversity of the Côtes du Roussillon, Côtes du Roussillon Villages, and Maury appellations, while retaining a vibrant style characteristic of the Pyrénées-Orientales region.
