PIERRE TALAYRACH

Who are we

The vineyard is based in the South of France, on the edges of the Gulf of Lion, more specifically on the Roussillon coastline. Pézilla-la-Rivière is a little village at a few kilometres from Perpignan. It is located at the gate of Têt valley, river which starts in the heart of Capcir, mountain in Pyrénées-Orientales. Our vineyard is established on the Perpignan-Pézilla-la-Rivière link. Mas Blanès is 1 km before the entrance of the village, on your right, at the end of a long path of vines. The cellar was created in 1978, built on a hillside slope, partly buried, which allows a wine-making process by gravity, thus sparing excessive pumping. Grape harvest is totally manual and the location of plots around the cellar allows to assemble grape varieties in the vat on the same harvest day. Wine-making processes are made by semi-carbonic maceration (grapes are neither destemed nor trampled beforehand, but partly crushed). This vinification method allows to get fruity and supple wines with sustained and bright colours. Moreover, they are not filtered, so as to keep flavours, matter and character.
