Elodie and Mathieu bought this estate in 2016, which had existed for 5 generations. The particularity of this estate is that the vineyard extends over 3 different soils: clay and limestone in Tautavel, schists on Maury and quaternary pebbles in Ribéral. This diversity has given rise to a range of 13 different wines that are regularly selected in the Hachette Guide. So many stars and favourites that we get lost a little bit but our favourites are the Prieuré 2015 (Côtes du Roussillon Villages Tautavel), a surprising red, very concentrated and also very fresh, the Maury garnet 2015 and the Maury sec 2016. You can taste all these beautiful bottles in the heart of the village, the cellar and the winemaking cellar located within the village between the two museums. Families are welcome in the cellar, Elodie and Mathieu provide children with a table with activities and colouring. Finally, because the limestone circus of Tautavel-Vingrau is one of the most beautiful landscapes in the world (and I am weighing my words), this young couple full of ideas offers you a superb villa for rent in the heart of the vineyards. A domain, a village and a site to discover absolutely.
