The history of Domaine Montluzia begins in 2016, when Adrien, a young Belgian from Liège, at the end of his studies at the agricultural school of Ciney, decides to settle in the Hautes Corbières between Narbonne and Perpignan in the south of France.
He begins by settling on 15ha of vines from which he brings the grapes to the local cooperative. In 2019, he acquired 2 plots of old Grenache Noir to start his own vinification. This is the "Kick off 2019" vintage.
Following the first cuvée, the desire came to him to create his own domain and a range of Red, White and Rosé. For this, he buys new plots for a total of 4ha vinified in a garage.
In 2020, Saskia, originally from Corrèze (France), comes for the harvest, and falling in love with the region and the winemaker, will decide to stay and participate in the adventure with Adrien.
Claude, Adrien's dad, also embarks on the adventure and takes care of all the administrative and commercial part for Belgium of the estate's wines.
In 2021, they buy a domain with a wine cellar and 7ha more already certified in organic farming. The estate currently comprises a total of 24ha.
In 2023, the estate grew and became Gaec Montluzia, meaning Mount Light in Occitan.
The vines are grazed after the harvest by horses, green manures are sown to nourish the soil, limit erosion and promote biodiversity.
The estate's grape varieties are Carignan, Grenache, Syrah, Muscat, Lledoner, Grenache Blanc and Gris, Rolle.
The plots are fragmented and bordered by natural hedges and scrubland on schist or clay-limestone soils.
During the harvest, the grapes are harvested and sorted by hand in 13kg crates. They are then vinified in stainless steel vats, once fermentation is complete, they are pressed in an old wooden press.
Our wines reflect our terroir: powerful, aromatic and fruity.
