Clos de l'ANHEL

This estate was born in 2000 from the desire of two people, my companion and myself, to make wine ourselves. No family in the land, no family in the vineyard, I have been a winegrower for zero generations. This induces a great freedom, the freedom to make mistakes, trials and fundamental choices. The choice of organic farming does not come up for a single second. I can only consider becoming a farmer if I fully respect the land, flora and fauna. I can only make wine by pleasing myself to pass it on to the bottle Sixteen years after the beginning of this adventure, I learn every day, I sometimes doubt, I undo, I redo, I try, I try, I try, I make mistakes, I succeed.......

Our story

After studying oenology, I worked as a consultant in an oenological laboratory where I followed and helped winegrowers to make their own wines. It was an exciting job but I was missing something: the complete work from the vine to the bottle. In 2000, with my partner, the opportunity presented itself: a favorite for a place, lost in the garrigue: an ideal estate, small enough to be able to acquire it, qualitative enough to decide, beautiful enough to fall in love with it. The adventure begins then. In 2009, life has left me alone at the head of these 10 hectares: a new beginning. I have a choice between having fun and having fun! After a few hesitations and mistakes, I go for it to reach the second solution! My training as an oenologist and my passion allow me to live this life as a winegrower today. It's not a profession, it's a way of life. In this field, I feel like a woman of all trades and I like it!
