Domaine Modat, located in Cassagnes in the Agly Valley, is a family vineyard committed to organic and biodynamic farming. Perched on high ground at around 400 meters above sea level, it extends over rare gneiss soils that give the wines great finesse and a beautiful tension. The estate values manual work in the vineyard, respecting natural cycles and promoting living soil balances through cover crops and agroecological practices. In the cellar, vinifications are carried out with native yeasts, gentle extractions and careful ageing in vat or wood, without oenological artifice. Domaine Modat thus produces lively, precise and expressive wines, reflecting both the uniqueness of their terroir and a demanding artisanal approach.

Roussillon wine country: an exceptional terroir

The Pyrénées-Orientales is one of France's most authentic wine regions. Roussillon offers a mosaic of unique terroirs: black schist from the Agly valley, granite from Les Aspres, limestone from Fenouillèdes and rolled pebbles from the plain. This geological diversity, combined with a Mediterranean climate tempered by the Tramontane wind, gives birth to wines of remarkable character.

Catalan winemakers cultivate iconic grape varieties — black, gray and white Grenache, Carignan, Mourvèdre, Syrah, Macabeu, Muscat à petits grains, Lledoner Pelut — often in organic or biodynamic farming. A winery visit in Roussillon is an opportunity to discover dry, fortified or natural wines in a preserved setting, at the heart of a millennia-old wine heritage.
