Domaine de la Dourbie

We have focused on quality and authenticity with the uprooting of non-local grape varieties (Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon) and the relocation of indigenous varieties such as Terret-Bourret for example. Unlike the previous owners, we do everything on site (from the vine to the label) Since 2009, we are in Organic Agriculture and the vinification is done in a traditional way (indigenous yeasts). The grapes are harvested by hand in crates, followed by a sorting on the table (always by hand!). Our philosophy is to combine "the traditional with the modern" by producing wines of pleasure and above all of sharing, the estate has two distinct terroirs. The first of 20 hectares in IGP d'Oc all around the estate, benefiting from a clayey-sandy soil, with a particular climate. The second, of 12 hectares in AOP Languedoc, is located on a magnificent microclimate in one of the most beautiful terroirs of Languedoc, a stone's throw from the village of Aniane, which is very well known for its Grand Cru. This pretty parcel on a single piece of hillside is composed only of old vines (50 to 80 years old) on a clayey-limestone soil, revealing sublime grapes when the harvest arrives.

Our story

Since 1781, the passion for vines and wine has driven the successive owners of the estate. The first owners created a park that is now classified as a "Remarkable Garden". Our predecessors undertook colossal work for the time by changing the course of the Dourbie in order to be able to plant vines all around the buildings. Since 2003, we have been striving to produce quality wines with the most traditional and organic vinification.
