Côtes Catalanes Rouge 2022

Vineyard philosophy

The Côtes Catalanes Rouge 2022 comes from vineyards that respect the freshness and minerality typical of the region. The blend of 50% Carignan and 50% Grenache Noir grows on soils that enhance an authentic and straightforward expression of the grapes, emphasizing the Mediterranean character with a focus on sustainability.

Winemaking approach

Fermentation is done entirely in steel tanks, followed by aging in concrete vats that preserve fruit freshness and aromatic integrity. Minimal intervention in the cellar ensures purity and balance between freshness and structure. The result is a fresh, mineral wine with perfect harmony for traditional dishes.

Domaine de Majas: Caudiès de Fenouillèdes, Roussillon

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.
