Nos terroirs

MONTESCOT

The Alluvial Marls of the Roussillon Plain

During the Quaternary period, alternating cold cycles, known as "glacial" periods, and temperate or warm cycles, known as "interglacial" periods, have sculpted the region’s landscape. In the Roussillon plain, valleys were carved by rivers flowing down the mountains through the Pliocene sediment layers, forming alluvial terraces on which the 26 hectares adjacent to the estate are situated.

MAURY

The Marls and Black Schists of the Agly Valley

Our 7 hectares sit at an altitude of 300 meters and stretch across hills of black and brown schist. Planted with black and gray Grenache grapes, the Maury terroir offers great aromatic complexity, characterized by notes of black fruits, garrigue, and freshness.Les 7 hectares à 300 mètres d’altitude s’étendent sur des collines de schistes noirs et bruns plantés en Grenaches noirs et gris. Le terroir de Maury offre une grande complexité aromatique caractérisée par des notes de fruits noirs, de garrigue et la fraîcheur.

SAINT-PAUL-DE-FENOUILLET

The Mosaic Schist Soils of the Upper Agly Valley

It was the Mesozoic era that left its mark on the terroirs of St-Paul-de-Fenouillet. Fourteen hectares at an altitude of 325 meters are located on brown schist soils. The cool summer nights slow down the ripening of the grapes, while the sun and wind slowly concentrate their aromas, which are characterized by spices.C'est plutôt l'ère secondaire qui a marqué les terroirs de St-Paul-de-Fenouillet. Ce sont 14 hectares à 325 mètres d’altitude qui se trouvent sur des schistes bruns. Les nuits d’été fraîches ralentissent la maturation des baies de raisin alors que la luminosité et le vent concentrent lentement leurs arômes caractérisés par les épices.

CAUDIÈS-DE-FENOUILLÈDES

The Black Schists of the Upper Agly Valley

Also dating from the Mesozoic era, we have 7 hectares located at an altitude of 385 meters on black schist soils that benefit from an oceanic influence, which is exceptional and unusual for the Eastern Pyrenees. Here, Chardonnay and Syrah produce mineral wines of rare finesse. Issus de la même ère, les 7 hectares sont situés à 385 mètres d’altitude sur des schistes noirs qui bénéficient, de manière exceptionnelle et étrange pour les Pyrénées-Orientales, d’une influence océanique. Chardonnay et Syrah produisent des vins minéraux et d’une rare finesse.
