Vieux Maccabeu is crafted with care, beginning with a gentle pressing of the grapes. The wine is then aged in stoneware jars, which imparts a unique dimension and preserves its aromatic purity. This meticulous process allows for the development of a balanced texture and a full appreciation of its generous character, while maintaining a pleasant freshness and subtle tension.

Gilles Trouiller
Domaine Gilles Trouiller is a small, independent winery located in the Roussillon region, primarily around Tarerach, Trévillach, Calce, and Saint-Paul-de-Fenouillet, where the vines thrive in high-altitude granite and schist soils. After working with Chapoutier, Gilles Trouiller established his own vineyard in the early 2000s, cultivating Syrah, Grenache, Carignan, Lledoner Pelut, and a few white grape varieties using organic and biodynamic practices, though without certification.
Viticulture is carried out without herbicides or excessive inputs, with manual harvesting and natural fermentations. Vinification by plot and aging in amphorae, vats, or oak barrels are designed to preserve freshness, minerality, and the pure expression of the fruit.
The estate's wines are renowned for their elegance, aromatic purity and ability to translate the diversity of the Roussillon terroirs, offering expressive vintages such as "Guérilleros", "The Big Gilou" or "L'Esprit du Temps".
