Maxime Magnon
Originally from Burgundy, Maxime Magnon settled in 2002 in the wild and rugged landscape of the Hautes Corbières, south of Corbières. There, between Villeneuve-les-Corbières, Durban, and Cascastel, he made an forgotten terroir his own, bringing old century-old vineyard plots back to life and establishing his name among the most exciting figures of the Languedoc revival.
The estate now covers about fifteen hectares exposed on clay, schist, and limestone soils at a good altitude, which give the grapes depth, finesse, and minerality. The vineyard is managed with a deep respect for living things: certified organic farming, manual work on the plots, and even the integration of animals (sheep, cows) that graze in winter to naturally enrich the microbial life of the soils.
