The winemaker Raymond tends his vines with care, in an approach attentive to biodiversity and natural balances. The region's emblematic grape varieties, such as Grenache, Carignan and Syrah, are worked here to fully express the identity of the Corbières soils. The estate favours artisanal savoir-faire passed down from generation to generation, promoting sustainable practices and meticulous winemaking. The wines produced reflect the richness of the Tautavel vineyard, between sun, wind and Mediterranean character.

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.
