ORGANIC VINEYARD IN THE MINERVOIS
~ ROUBIA ~
ABOUT US
The Puy vineyard extends over seventeen hectares of organic vines on both sides of the Canal du Midi. Created by a family of winegrowers, the estate was started by Michel, the grandfather, expanded by Henri, the father, and is now in the hands of Emmanuel and Leanne, who came all the way from the north-east of England...
To the south-east (at Le Marin) of the village of Roubia, six hectares are dedicated to the “Cépages” range of wines, made from Viognier and Chardonnay for the white wines, and Syrah for the red wines.
To the north-west (at Le Cers), there are eleven hectares within the Appellation d’Origine Protégée – AOP of Minervois. These vines are planted with Carignan, Grenache Noir, Syrah, and Mourvèdre for the red grape varieties, and Grenache Blanc, Marsanne, Vermentino, and Viognier for the white grape varieties. A plot of Grenache Gris completes the area for our rosé or white wine blends.
