Domaine Le Bout du Monde

After several years spent working at the Estézargues cooperative cellar, I wanted to work the land. Many of my friends had already tried the adventure… Not being of agricultural origin, it was necessary to create everything. Loïc Roure (Domaine du Possible) who had just moved to Lansac in "JAJAKISTAN", in the Pyrénées-Orientales, offered to welcome me to the cellar he had just acquired, a former cooperative cellar... All that remained was to find the vines, my choice fell on vines at altitude, rather north facing to promote freshness, fruit, and limit alcohol. The first visitors thought it was "Le Bout du Monde", hence the name of the Domaine! Today I work 7.7 hectares in three towns: 4 hectares in Lansac on Arènes Granitiques 2 hectares in Rasiguères on Schists 1.7 hectares in Cassagnes on Gneiss The harvest is done by hand, the vinification is the most natural possible, in carbonic maceration and at low temperature. The wines are not filtered. I vinify by terroir; a white cuvée (Brave Margot) and 5 red cuvées.
