Domaine La Rune
Domaine La Rune is located in Talairan. In the family, vines have been present as far back as one can trace the family tree, since the late 1800s: the great-great-grandfather was one of the first winegrowers to go up to Paris to sell his wine, before opening a café-restaurant there. The estate was founded in 2003, when Dominique and Xavier, who had been working the vines for years, built the winery. In 2022, Manu and Hélène took over.
The vineyard forms a constellation of sixteen plots covering around fourteen hectares, spread over two communes, including Saint-Laurent-de-la-Cabrerisse. It is a mosaic of terroirs with varied altitudes, soils and aspects. Here, cultivating vines means caring for a plant capable of spanning the centuries and expressing the essence of a place.
The soil is kept covered as much as possible, as in nature: this living cover shelters it from the sun, cushions the impact of raindrops, drains water deep into the soil and softens temperature swings. Around the winery, three animals, Noisette, Coco and Bubulle, graze. In winter, in the vines, they nibble the vine shoots, which makes pruning easier, and graze the grass; the rest of the time, they reopen the garrigue and help prevent fire risks. A flock of sheep also spends the winter, and the manure from the sheepfold allows for larger inputs of organic matter.
The vines are strengthened with plants, fermented extracts and decoctions, as well as biodynamic preparations and following planetary rhythms. Interventions are reduced to a strict minimum, carried out without pumps and gently. All production is vinified with indigenous yeasts; the rare inputs are added only if their absence is proven, and sulfites only if they serve the quality of the wine. The first cuvées certified Vin Méthode Nature date from 2021, with the aim of gentle, homogeneous extraction, for wines with relief and substance, digestible and airy.
