The vines located near the city of Carcassonne are planted on slopes with clay-limestone soils. The climate is Mediterranean, and strongly influenced by an Atlantic wind that brings a lot of freshness to the vineyards.
Signature Sommelier
Tiffany TOBEY Red wine – Merlot
Premium wine collection created by Tiffany TOBEY
Respect of the land and the vines rules over our list of requirements.
Our grapes achieve at least HVE 3 standards.
Around the vineyards, hectares of scrubland ensure that the vines are protected. We maintain the garrigue and treasure it as an essential element of our Mediterranean landscape. We limit watering of the vineyards, which develops the root system’s depth, and its ability to collect minerals. To ensure both elegant and aromatic wine, we aim at low yields.
The grapes are harvested by hand to ensure perfect integrity of the grapes.
