The domain's short story
The domain of Aires Hautes was created in 1938 by my grandparents. Since I was very young, I accompanied them, with my parents, in the vineyard and in the cellar. A passion that became a profession in 1990, when I decided to settle down to continue what remains, still today, a great family adventure. My parents, my wife, my brother, my children and of course my friends all contribute in one way or another to the development of the estate. Located in the National Park of the Haut Languedoc, straddling the Minervois and Minervois La Livinière appellations, I have 30 hectares of land in the heart of the garrigue, on marl, sandstone and clay-limestone terraces. This diversity has nevertheless a common root: the will to express and enhance my terroir in a deep respect of my environment. Manual harvesting, fine selection of grapes, manual punching down, reasoned management, AB certification since 2009 and, since this year, a natural wine: Les Catherines. You will discover fine, rich and balanced wines, full of sunshine, with melted tannins releasing aromas of spices, black fruits or cocoa. We hope to make you spend great moments of sharing and pleasure!
