The selection

For several years now, product management has been run top-down.

A selection of parcels is made every year:  in order to have a real segmentation of the offer, it is imperative for us to have an equivalent segmentation in the production.

The œnologist Christophe Groppi is in charge of the production and follow-up of the wines, assisted by Jérome Hourdel from the ICV (Institut Coopératif du Vin) and by Alain Cros for the blending of the different vintages. For very many years he has produced the wine for all the vintages and thanks to this team work, has raised the wines of our cellar to the highest rank, twice winning the title for the great wines of France over all categories of appellation, in 1985 and 1995, numerous gold medals and many other highly-praised awards.  

 

Marketing

The majority of our production is sold in bulk.  These wines are, for the most part, low-end, either in appellation or in vin de pays.  We can also make markets in middle-range wines.

In parallel we are developing higher-range markets, wine which is bottled on the domain for specific clients but which we do not include in our product range.
Finally, we are developing a bottled range destined mainly for our special clients but also for restaurants and wine merchants all over France.
Our cellar is present in the export markets.
Our bottled range is sold under the brand Cellier d’Orfée.
We are mainly present in the wines of the AOC Corbières, of which we have a white, a rosé and several reds.
This range benefits from the renown of our flagship product, "Cuvée Sextant”, which was first created in 1993 and which has been our top vintage for ten years.  It’s regularly in the forefront, with awards obtained in national and international competitions and is equally famous in the specialist guides and reviews.

The B de Boutenac, AOC Corbières, is the newest of our range.
