Domaine Rière Cadène

Our vineyard is spread over three terroirs, reflecting the geological richness of the Roussillon:- Black schist in Espira-de-l'Agly with Macabeu, Grenache B, Vermentino, Roussanne, Viognier, Muscat,- Granitic pebbles in Perpignan with Syrah, Grenache,- White limestone in Calce with Carignan, Grenache, Syrah.We vinify in a traditional way, without artifice and with strict limits on inputs. For many years, we have not used weed killers or insecticides. To make this process more transparent, we are committed to Organic Agriculture (2019 harvest certified AB).

Our story

We love wine as much for the sensory pleasure it provides as for the story it tells. That of the vines that gave birth to it, of the winemaker who raised it. Some people would like to approach wine from a chemical point of view: SO², H2SO4, C2H6O... For us, the beauty of the profession lies elsewhere. Before taking over the family estate, Laurence and Jean-François wanted to grow flowers. They already had a peasant soul and this first horticultural love probably influenced their approach to wine. Before becoming a winegrower, Guillem travelled all over Africa. The Burgundians are tempted by the open sea, and then return to their roots. Two seasoned farmers and a fresh pair of eyes. Crossed paths that make up the richness of the Domaine and forge its signature.
