Family estate · Maritime Corbières
The Estate
Twenty hectares of organically farmed vines on a protected peninsula facing the lagoons — the AOP Corbières at its most maritime.
Ecocert certified FR-BIO-01
N°01 · OUR COMMITMENT
The living as our only method.
Here, organic isn’t a logo on the label: it’s the very way we tend the vines. Supporting the soil, respecting the rhythm of life, letting the Mediterranean sign every cuvée.
Life at the core
We foster the natural balance of soil and vine — supporting rather than forcing.
Protected peninsula
A peninsula of around 800 ha in a protected natural area, of which we are the sole guardian.
Saline freshness
The spray of the Bages-Sigean lagoons gives our wines a recognisable marine tension.

N°03 · WHY IT CHANGES EVERYTHING
A living soil gives a living wine.
By removing synthetic chemistry, we bring the soil back to life: micro-organisms, roots that reach deeper, a more balanced vine. The grape arrives healthy at the cellar, and the terroir speaks unmasked.
A soil that breathesMicrobial life & biodiversity preserved.
A healthy grapePicked at ripeness, few inputs.
The terroir, unfilteredThe place speaks, not the technique.
Facing the water
The vine, its feet in the lagoons.

N°04 · THE APPELLATION
A Corbières shaped by the sea.
The AOP Corbières, recognised in 1985, is one of the largest appellations of the Languedoc, in the south of the Aude. The Pla de l’Ille holds a rare place there: a peninsula open to the Bages-Sigean lagoons and the Mediterranean.

AOP? A Protected Designation of Origin guarantees the origin, the permitted grapes and a precise set of rules. A promise of place, not just of brand.

A land of winegrowers since Antiquity.
Built on a Roman settlement site — once a crossroads of the Elisyces’ wine trade — the estate carries on a two-thousand-year history. From ancient pottery to today’s gestures, the same quest: a wine rooted in its place.
