DOMAINE DU GRAND PLANAL
Stéphane Roger took over from his grandfather in 1990. The estate is located in the heart of the village and can accommodate its customers and help them discover all the aspects of the exploitation. But beware, visits are only by appointment. On the estate, the wine harvests are mixed, part of them are by hand, the other with a machine that sorts and removes anything that can damage the high-quality maceration. The grape varieties are vinified separately, tasted throughout the winemaking and assembled before being placed in barrels for a part: Domaine du Grand Planal "aged in oak barrels." In terms of grape variety, the estate gives way to grenache, carignan, and mourvèdre grape varieties on stony-clay soils, cinsault and syrah on rather sand-clay soils, but there are also merlot and cabernet sauvignon. Stéphane sometimes makes his customers taste unassembled grape varieties of the year, to allow them to compare with the bottled finished products, discover different tastes, aromas, and understand the complexity of grape farming and winemaking. Stéphane Roger also runs Le Central: good meats, good lunch, it is in Les Halles in Narbonne.
