Pierre Bories farms 10 hectares of vines in the hills of Corbières, Languedoc. The winery, however, is located in Fabrezan, near the city of Carcassonne.

Certified Organic since 2003, the vineyards are surrounded by the garigue, a dry scrub vegetation area, on beautiful south facing slopes. Pierre farms using the “goblet” pruning method, which creates a high density of leaves that protects the grapes from the intense sun exposure. The clusters ripen under the shade, while preserving their natural acidity. He complements this by early picking, as Pierre tries to produce taut wines, lightly extracted from a very dry and hot region.

Vinification is then entrusted to the livelihood of the grapes. Spontaneous fermentation takes place with zero additives, except a touch of SO2 added at bottling to ensure precision. This amounts to under 30ppm total. Showcasing the unique personality of the wines, the labels are drawn by Hippolyte, Pierre’s son who gave his name to this cuvee.
