Our business was founded in
1933 and has been in constant
evolution ever since. The first decades, with wines
which were light on tannins and low in alcohol content, were
directed towards an intensive production destined for the
national market.
In the 1970’s,
Languedoc Roussillon saw the birth of quality winemaking
- a social and cultural evolution and a change in consumer
habits.
Since the 1980’s and 1990’s, the varieties of grapes in the vineyard have been re-structured
and a technical revolution has made it possible to adapt
our production to the tastes of the consumer.
In 1994the winemakers
in the cellars of the villages of Luc sur Orbieu and Ornaisons
pooled their expertise. |

In 2006 : the "Celliers d’Orfée" was created
with the winemakers of Ferrals Les Corbières who joined
the group. This joining-together of men and means in
the same area replaced the strategy of quality wines.
The "Celliers
d’Orfée" manage vineyards of 1,150 hectares
which extend over 7 communes : Bizanet, Boutenac,
Cruscades, Ferrals les Corbières, Villerouge la Crémade,
Luc sur Orbieu and Ornaisons, worked by 200 winemakers in
three terroirs. |
