Grapes are pressed directly, and fermented / aged in concrete. This is like a refreshing dip in a rocky river, filled with strawberries and sunshine.

Vinification: Alain Carrère founded Domaine de Majas with his wife Agnès in 1992. Today, the estate comprises 75 acres, all in the commune of Caudiès-de-Fenouillèdes. The vineyards principally consist of Carignan grown on terroirs of schist, volcanic stone and mountainous limestone, but small amounts of several other varietals are planted as well. Since 2007 the couple has worked in partnership with noted biodynamic producer Tom Lubbe, the owner/winemaker of Domaine Matassa in Rousillon, and all 75 acres of the estate are now farmed organically.
