The domain's short story
Very old vines grown in organic agriculture, a work of wines without artifice. Two terroirs are exploited distinctly, the Coteaux d'Ensérune with a rather solar white soil and Saint Chinian with a cooler red soil. It is during our walks in the garrigue that we found all our plots, the average size of the plots is 30 ares, each of them has a very particular history, behaviour and allocation. From 30 to 110 years old, our vines produce grapes that complement each other in the production of the vintages: Carignan for the spices, freshness and aromas of the garrigue, Grenache for the flesh and finally Syrah for the density and darkness of the fruit. Our soils are under severe water stress, we feed their useful reserve with humus. We bring volcanic rocks rich in silica and slag for phosphorus to flocculate clays and regenerate very old soils. At the end of the harvest, the soils are watered by Cévennes rains to let a natural vegetation cover grow.
