Cotes Catalanes Blanc 2024 Domaine de Majas

Côtes Catalanes Blanc 2024

Vineyard philosophy

The Côtes Catalanes Blanc 2024 comes from vineyards rooted in clay, limestone, and schist soils. Local varieties like Macabeu, Grenache Blanc, Carignan Blanc, and Rolle express the terroir’s vibrant character. Manual harvesting ensures only the healthiest clusters reach the winery.

Winemaking approach

Fermentation takes place in stainless steel to preserve the aromatic freshness. The wine then rests for a few months in concrete tanks, refining its texture while keeping the fruit pure. Only native yeasts are used, with minimal intervention.

The history

Alain Carrère founded Domaine de Majas in 1992 with his wife Agnes, starting a winemaking journey on 30 hectares planted on schist soils, using the bush vine (gobelet) training system. Initially, production was aimed at mass distribution, with a more commercial approach. However, the encounter with Tom Lubbe of Matassa marked a decisive turning point, completely changing the company’s vision and strategy.

Vineyard philosophy

The rebirth of Domaine de Majas came through a strong commitment to organic conversion driven by Tom Lubbe, emphasizing deep respect for terroir and vineyard biodiversity. Cultivated on schist soils, with natural practices and exclusive use of indigenous yeasts during fermentation, the wines express clarity, vibrant freshness, and a delicious character, true to the essence of Roussillon.

Winemaking approach

In the cellar, minimal intervention is preferred, allowing natural fermentation guided by native yeasts to enhance the purity of the grapes. Aging follows traditional and controlled methods, aiming to preserve aromatic integrity and convey the complexity of the land. The result is clean, crisp wines that are lively and accessible, appealing to both enthusiasts and newcomers.
