Domaine Cathare

Created in 2010, Domaine Cathare cultivates its plots on the heights of Languedoc, in the heart of the Limoux appellation, in the municipalities of Festes, Saint-André and Bouriège. The vineyard extends at an altitude of about 450 meters, in the Pyrenees, and covers 11.7 hectares farmed using organic farming. Production reaches approximately 25,000 bottles per year, divided into ten single-plot cuvées of white wines and red wines.

The estate has adopted a cru approach, summarized by the phrase “one plot, one terroir, one wine, for a different taste”: each cuvée is linked to an identified plot and is presented as a very high-end wine. The range includes five white wines and five red wines, divided into ten cuvées: Caretas, Consolament, Evangelia, Hérésie, Inquisition, Les Parfaits, Melhorier, Noé, Prince Noir and Trencavel.

After nine vintages, the estate claims a place among the fifty best estates in Languedoc, supported by international competitions and specialized guides. The Bettane et Desseauve guide distinguished it as the best winemaker of the Limoux appellation in 2020.

The clientele consists mainly of starred gourmet restaurants, in France and Japan, and of private individuals who are lovers of quality wines. Sales take place at the property and at trade shows, directly to private individuals, as well as to the restaurant trade.

The head office of the operation is established in Villefloure, in the Aude, within the Languedoc vineyard. The estate claims the highest terroirs of the region: its plots are distributed among Festes, Saint-André and Bouriège, where they are cultivated using organic farming.
