A brief tour of the presentations: Damien: “Becoming an oenologist after a successful career change, I landed a position as cellar master at Domaine Gayda located in Aude near Limoux. » Lize: “After more than 15 years in the organization and coordination of events, I will bring all my expertise in the administrative and commercial management of the area. » We wanted to build this wine project together, because our complicity and our complementarity is a strength. We pay particular attention to respecting the environment by working not against nature but in communion with it. Installed in 2020, our first vintage is 2021 vintage. The installation We have placed our picks and pruners in Roussillon, not only for the appeal of the terroir, both varied and generous that it offers, but also because it is the country of heart and of family and friendly ties. by Damien. Lize, of Norman origin, fell under the spell of this region with a strong identity: varied landscapes, both maritime and mountainous, diverse terroirs and a Mediterranean climate sometimes under the influence of the venerable Canigou Massif. The vines It was in the small town of Oms, overlooking Céret, that we discovered a gem! Magnificent vines spread over 4 ha and surrounded by woods (cork oaks, holm oaks, chestnut trees and others). Four grape varieties are grown there: Syrah, Carignan Noir, Grenache Noir and Grenache Gris. The plots rise to an altitude of 400 meters and face South-East. Red ochres (a mixture of clay and silica) and schists compete for the soils of this enchanting site. In Organic Farming since their planting, we wish to express singular, elegant and fresh wines from these vines on atypical terroir. Winemaking and wines We are lucky to work with a varied and fresh terroir for a southern region. The expression of this richness is a central point of our work. The grapes are vinified with native yeasts. Extractions are controlled and fermentation temperatures relatively low. No input is used apart from a slight dose of sulfur at the setting. Our wines are certified with a total SO2 level of less than 25 mg/L. Contact Lize and Damien: [email protected] 06 16 65 38 28
