Maritime influence
The vines extend near the Bages-Sigean lagoon, a vast inlet open to the Mediterranean. The spray-laden air marks the grapes with a fine saline imprint.

The Terroir
Maritime sub-zone of the AOP Corbières, on the edge of the Bages-Sigean lagoon.
GEOGRAPHY
Where the vineyard meets the lagoon.
Peyriac-de-Mer is one of the most singular villages of the Aude coast. The lagoon water rises between the slopes, the garrigue takes over on the heights. It is in this in-between — mineral, ventilated, saline — that the vine takes root, across twenty hectares farmed organically.

THE FOUR FORCES
What shapes our wines.
Protective winds
Tramontane and marin regularly sweep the slopes. This natural ventilation dries the canopy and reduces disease pressure — a precious ally in organic farming.
Corbières soils
The Sigean sector rests on a limestone and marl-limestone substrate. Poor, well-draining soils, low yields, concentrated and taut grapes.
Nature Park
The estate lies within the Narbonnaise en Méditerranée Regional Nature Park: a mosaic of lagoons, garrigues and protected areas of remarkable biodiversity.
