Our winery is located at the heart of the village of Marseillette, on a winegrowing estate that dates back to the early 19th century.

The village is 17 km from Carcassonne at the heart of Frances Cathar Country. The famous Canal du Midi, built in the 17th century to facilitate trade between the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean, runs through it.

The building, which was constructed in 1803, has been completely renovated and boasts several stainless steel and glazed concrete tanks with temperature and hygrometry control. Doted with two ageing cellars, the winery provides optimal conditions for the blending, ageing and storing of our wines.

A tasting room and a laboratory round out the facilities that enable us to ensure that meticulous attention is given to our wines.
