Corbières: a land of iconic terroirs and grape varieties
Located in the south of France, the AOC Corbières appellation is renowned for its rich and expressive red wines. This terroir, shaped by diverse soils (limestone, schist, marl) and a Mediterranean climate, produces powerful wines with aromas of dark fruits and spices. Notably, there is a growing trend of fresher, lighter wines crafted by winemakers deeply rooted in this terroir for generations. The emblematic grape varieties of the region, such as Grenache, Syrah, Carignan, and Mourvèdre, lend Corbières wines their unique character and aromatic complexity. Wines from these varietals provide an authentic tasting experience, revealing the full diversity of the Corbières terroir.
Corbières: the birthplace of organic winemaking in France
With its untamed landscapes and rich biodiversity, Corbières serves as a true haven for organic viticulture.
This iconic terroir has been a pioneer in the organic wine movement in France. Starting in the 1990s, many vineyards in the region broke away from conventional practices to embrace environmentally friendly agriculture. The Mediterranean climate, characterized by hot, dry summers and mild winters, along with varied soils, provides ideal conditions for low-intervention winemaking.
Corbières winemakers have leveraged these advantages to produce high-quality organic wines, while preserving local ecosystems. Organic farming practices, such as using natural composts, manual soil management, and avoiding synthetic pesticides, not only protect the richness of the terroir but also enhance the unique character of the region’s emblematic grape varieties. This commitment to organic winemaking solidifies Corbières’ reputation as a land of innovation and excellence today.
