Languedoc RoussillonDomaine Borie la Vitarèle

In the north of Béziers, in the AOC Saint Chinian, is located a little estate called Borie la Vitarèle and owned since 1990 by Cathy and Jean-François Izarn. On their 13 hectares of gravel, schist, clay and limestone soils, these two lovers of wine and cuisine lovingly tend the beautiful vines composed of Shiraz, Grenache and Mourvèdre.

Through natural methods, delicate and strong wines spring from their work and their vines. On these poor and sloping soils, yields are naturally very limited (between 20 and 40 hl/ha) in order to obtain the authentic aromas of the terroir. After an entire destemming, a fermentation with natural yeast and a maturation process of 18 months, their wines are bottled unfiltered in order to preserve the quality of the fruit and the typical minerality of this soil.
