Vineyards

Roussillon is a small region with extremely varied landforms, France’s sunniest climate, warm weather and wind exposure suited to wine growing.

A natural amphitheatre facing East towards to the Mediterranean sea, it is bordered by three mountain ranges: the Corbières in the North, Mount Canigou in the West and the Albères in the South.

Three rivers – the Agly, Têt and Tech – delineate the various wine regions, each one boasting specific characteristics.

Roussillon is unusual in that it boasts a very wide array of geological formations and microclimates, allowing each grape variety to thrive in the most suitable location and reveal its hallmark features.

Different soil shades...... different wine styles...

6 Our vineyards produce still wines labelled PDO and PGI and dessert wines (PDO) from around twenty different grape varieties.

Although our expertise and the influence of the local soils are decisive components in our wines, the noble Mediterranean grape varieties grown in our vineyards reveal their personality and originality in our bottlings.

7 The excellence of a great wine

Exceptional Wines Exceptional A.O.P. Côtes du Roussillon Villages

An exclusive, limited edition blend.

Acta Sanctorium, meaning the Act of Saints, is the result of painstaking work by a group of Roussillon wine growers whose goal is to produce wines that epitomise their wine growing expertise. This full, lush wine produced from single vineyards of old vines combines the power and finesse of soils in the Agly valley. Fleshy and driven by savoury notes of red fruits, mocha and marshmallow, this wine shows velvety tannins, substantial volume and a marvellous blend of freshness and maturity.

The blends are made in close collaboration with our consultant Olivier Dauga.

8 These two outstanding blends stem from a stringent selection of single vineyard old vines grown in the area of Agly, in the North of the Pyrénées-Orientales.

Dessert wines or ‘vins doux naturels’ are traditional, archetypal products of Roussillon.

Since the 13th century, they have been painstakingly made by adding neutral, wine-derived spirits to fermenting grape must so as to stop fermentation and retain some of the natural sugar from the grapes, hence imparting sweetness to the wines.

These generous wines are made only from a range of noble varieties: Grenache, Macabeu, Malvoisie du Roussillon and Muscat.
