Our story

Our vineyard is a family estate in the heart of the village of Serres, Languedoc. On this unique and privileged terroir, we are the only independent winemakers. Our vineyard was born from the complicity of two families, Therez and Caruso, who from 2008 decided to switch the 35 ha of vines to Organic Agriculture in order to work in the respect for nature.


 Our plots are ideally located on south-facing hillsides, on the edge of scrubland and areas
 forests, rest on clay-limestone soils where the ripening of the grapes will be slow, a source of
 complexity and finesse, valuable qualitative assets for our wines.

 

Respect, patience and the search for excellence.
Nicolas, heir to the family farm, works daily with his teams to highlight this exceptional terroir and works our vines with know-how and respect for nature down to the harvest. These are manual in order to preserve the integrity of the grapes from the plot to the cellar.
In the cellar, thanks to our experience and a clear vision of the products expected, we vinify, blend and mature the fruit of these plots according to the tastings. We thus guide the natural phenomena of the transformation of grapes into wine in order to create complex, harmonious and characterful wines.​

A colorful wine creation !

Our ambition is to create premium wines, internationally recognized, which will accompany all your moments of celebration and sharing. Our range is made up of sparkling wines: white and rosé Crémants highlighting Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Our Blanquettes de Limoux using the traditional method and Ancestral Method highlight the Mauzac, an immemorial grape variety source of freshness and beautiful acidity. Our still wines made from Chardonnay, Mauzac, Carignan or Pinot can be aged in stainless steel tanks or barrels. They testify to the freshness and the extraordinary potential of our terroir, as well as our enthusiasm in the cellar.

You will taste wines that share a soul, finesse and strong personality. You will also taste the South of France, the scent of the sunny scrubland facing the snow-capped Pyrenees.

We also offer you local products as well as many other wine-related surprises. ​

At our tasting room, a place of exchange and conviviality, we will talk to you about our work, from bud to grape, from vine to bottle.
