The Domaine Les Mille Vignes covers the three appellations of Languedoc, Fit ou, Muscat and Rivesaltes, over an area intentionally limited to 7.5 hectares.

Created in 1979 by Jacques GUERIN, who had many years taught viticulture and oenology, a short distance from Chateauneuf du Pape, The Domaine Les Mille Vignes is positioned in the upper segment of Languedoc wines in quality terms.

We have just been awarded the best winemaker of the year trophy by the professional jury of the 2006 Guide Fleurus des Vins.

These are craftsman’s wines, which we produce with passion. Production is limited to very low yields of between 9 and 25 hectolitres per hectare only, using vines aged between 18 and and 100 years. The main grape variety used is Mourvèdre , a grape with an “ élite “ reputation.

Picking takes place at the time of full organic maturity, amid a festive atmosphere, with friends united under the name of “Vendangeurs de la Violette“. There’s a wine dedicated to them.

To achieve good extraction, macerations are long – up to 33 days – in low volume vats.

Wood is used judiciously; the wine spends, sometimes, a short period in french half-muids.

We pefer low yields so that we can work of them with “ the precision of goldsmith “.

Connoisseurs of these wines are a very demanding group. They include chefs of the most prestigious tables in France, informed wine-lovers and French Republic institutions such as the Eysée Palace, the Prime Minister’s office, the Senate etc...

The site "french wines" has chosen the following selection
