Winery history
Traces of vine-growing in Cairanne date back to antiquity; the Alary family settled in Cairanne in 1692, according to local archives. In the following decades the property was passed down from generation to generation. In 1984 Frédéric and François Alary revitalized the estate, earning local recognition and beginning the conversion to organic agriculture in the 1990s, with a shift to biodynamics in 2008. In 2020 the Abeille-Fabre family acquired the estate, ensuring continuity of the philosophy and work undertaken.
Production philosophy
The estate emphasizes terroir expression through attentive agronomic practices: soil management, enhancement of old vineyards, and winemaking that preserves the identity of each parcel. Their stated approach combines organic viticulture with biodynamic principles to support ecosystem health and the authenticity of the cuvées.
Terroir and vineyards
The domaine is located in Cairanne, with the vineyard concentrated on the lieux-dits of Saint-Martin, Les Douyes and Le Coustias at roughly 200 m elevation.
