Mas Peyre

Building on 16 years of experience in cooperative winery, we decided to start making our own wine in 2003. And we work with our entire family. Our youngest son, César, manages marketing for the domaine. And by 2009, our oldest son Baptiste joined us on the farm, and as vineyard manager he decided to pursue the conversion to organic farming. This year 2012 is our first year of certification in organic agriculture. Organic farming is primarily a work of care for the land. Three years are needed to recreate the living conditions of harmonious earth, plants and environment. The vineyard work is done respecting the earth.Mas Peyre covers 40 hectares, for an average annual production of 1,200 hectoliters. The vines are plowed, disbudded, efffeuillées and harvested green. Old plots of Grenache black, sometimes century-old pipes cup, newer plantings of Syrah trellised, worked in respect of nature according to the codes of Organic Farming and tradition are used to develop a full range of wines. The harvest is manual for red, behave in loosely packed. Grapes, very healthy, can have long macerations. The whites are immediately pressed and fermentation temperatures are controlled permanently. After tasting, the tanks are assembled to be raised either in tanks or in oak barrels.
