Anecdotes about the domain
Our philosophy is to reduce our carbon footprint as much as possible during our professional activities which makes working in the vineyard longer but also much more satisfying in some ways! "Always the wine feels its terroir."
The domain's short story
Originally from Lyon, Séverin studied in Burgundy for eight rich years, with experiences and beautiful encounters that only reinforced his passion for the wine world. Thus, driven by his dream, Séverin decided to live from his passion and produce his own wines. Friendship brought him to the territory of the Eastern Pyrenees, and more particularly to the village of Calce. Then he discovered the wines of great finesse and elegance of the Calce winemakers. It is then as an evidence that he chose to settle in this small mountain village. The terroir of Calce is of an immense diversity (schist, marly schist, calcareous marl) which makes it an atypical and quite unique territory. Séverin, in the wish to produce wines of great quality, opted for the work of the vines and the wines in organic agriculture and in biodynamy.
The winemaker's pride
The Domaine Face B is 4 hectares of vines on a unique territory, the territory of Calce, which offers a huge diversity of soils. The schists associated with the marls and the limestone allow to realize very marked parcel vintages. The vines are worked in organic agriculture, and are in the process of conversion. Most of the work is done manually, such as pruning, spring work, treatments (organic of course), and harvesting. The goal is to reduce as much as possible the ecological footprint of my professional activity.
