Domaine de Besombes: Organic vineyard
The Domaine de Besombes results from the selection of 50 hectares of the best land, parcels and grape varieties of three lands.
Damien de Besombes Singla has converted part of the vineyard into organic wine.
A great believer in " the right grape in the right place", he found the ideal site where each variety can express its fullness.
La Vallée de l'Agly : Le Mas Saint Michel
In the Agly valley, near the Corbières, the Mas Saint Michel vineyard surrounds homes, wineries and maturing cellar.
Lulled by the song of cicadas and the wind pining in the stone pines, the Mas contempates the slow maturation of Muscats d'Alexandrie, Muscats Petits Grains, Grenache and Syrah. In this majestic setting with the ocher tones of the Mediterranean "Terra Rosa", stony limestone and clay shale soils blend together.
Partly dug into the limestone bastion, the winery and the semi underground cellar provide consistent temperature for the vinification room and oak barrels where selected wines are created, mature and age.
This is where Natural Sweet Wines like the Muscat, Rivesaltes Ambré and Grenat are vinified and age.
Les Aspres : Le Mas d'en Alby
In the Aspres, near Camelas, in the Mount Canigou's shadow, the Mas d'en Alby is located in a verdant decor that contrasts with the light-colored land, stemming from shale, white clay and limestone.
Here there are 11 ha of vineyards with limited yields specific to the AOC Côtes du Roussillon.
The Grenache and Syrah make very fine organic wines.
La Plaine du Roussillon: Saint Laurent de la Salanque
In the plain of
Roussillon, close to Saint Laurent de la Salanque, a vineyard covering 15 ha, nestled between the Mediterranean coast and the Agly's shores, flourishes on a loam and silty clay
soil. This is where the Vins de Pays des Côtes Catalanes comes to life, born of Cabernet, Sauvignon,
Merlot, Syrah and Muscat d'Alexandrie.
