Côtes Catalanes Rouge 2024

Vineyard philosophy

The Côtes Catalanes Rouge 2024 comes from organically farmed vineyards, respecting the natural expression of Carignan and Grenache Noir. The schist soils and Mediterranean climate give the grapes character and freshness, delivering a direct, vibrant wine true to its terroir.

Winemaking approach

Vinification takes place in steel tanks and aging continues in concrete vats to preserve fruit purity. Minimal intervention and native yeasts ensure an authentic taste of the region. The 2024 vintage confirms the fresh cut and distinct minerality typical of Majas.

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.
