Our story

Mrs Adrienne Lerys, owner of the estate, bequeathed it to her godson Mr Izard. In 2004, Alban Izard, his grandson, took over the estate with new ambitions and new winemaking techniques to the delight of connoisseurs. A family estate since 1861, Alban is the 8th generation of winegrowers working on the schistose slopes of Villeneuve. Today he cultivates 60 ha of vines and produces wines in AOP Fitou, Muscat de rivesaltes, Rivesaltes and Corbières, as well as IGP Vallée du Paradis.

Other little stories

"The vineyard is entirely carried out in Organic Agriculture, the grape harvest is only done by hand while the winemaking is the fruit of Alban's work. The wine is a product of sharing and conviviality, it is produced with the greatest respect for the raw material that is the grape, the vinification is done with a minimum addition of inputs. The work in the vineyards is done with the greatest respect for the environment (elimination of weed killers, use of natural products such as sulphur or copper)".

We hope that the passion that drives us, the love we have for our land and our vines is appreciated in each of our bottles. To transport you to each tasting in our Corbières, to bring you a moment of escape and pleasure will be the most beautiful recognition!

An exceptional terroir, schist soils, a strict Mediterranean climate, a powerful and regular wind, old vines... Coming from this authentic and wild nature, which it is important to us to preserve, our wines acquire characteristic aromas of red and black fruits that define us.
