L’Audreria - Guillaume Bouteille
Scattered winegrower, the first vinificators were housed in Limouxin, then in a cellar located in Treilles for 2020, now it is in the town of Tautavel, in an isolated Mas that the wines are made. The parcels of Muscat Petit Grain, Grenache and Mourvèdre are located in Treilles, in the Combe des Corbières, and a parcel of Old Carignan in the far east of the Minervois on marl-limestone and schist soils.
The two and a half hectares of vines are worked mainly with a pickaxe, and a few claws if the tool is willing to start. The size is in goblet and Royat cord. Plantations can be made in the inter-rows, otherwise they are just mowed. The treatments are sulphur, copper in doses well below the maximum authorized in organic farming, and various plants, such as nettle, horsetail, burdock, orange essence, etc. I am at my third year of contract with ECOCERT, but the vines have been worked like this since 2016 and 2017, the dates on which I took them.
