Domaine Rière Cadène

Our vineyard is spread over three terroirs, reflecting the geological richness of Roussillon:

- Black schists in Espira-de-l'Agly with Macabeu, Grenache B, Vermentino, Roussanne, Viognier, Muscat
,- Granitic rolled pebbles in Perpignan with Syrah
, Grenache

,- White limestones in Calce with Carignan, Grenache,

Syrah.
We vinify in the traditional way, without artifice and with strict limits on inputs. For many years, we have not used weedkillers or insecticides. For a better readability of this approach, we are committed to Organic Agriculture (2019 harvest certified AB).

Our story

We love wine as much for the sensory pleasure it brings as for the story it tells. That of the vines that gave birth to it, of the winegrower who raised it. Some would like to approach wine from the chemical side: SO², H2SO4, C2H6O... For us, the beauty of the job is 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. Temptation to the open sea.

Formation among the Burgundians, then return to the roots. Two seasoned farmers and a fresh perspective. Crossed paths that make the richness of the Domaine and forge its signature.
