Laurent Maynadier, winemaker, and Marie, his wife, oenologist, work their wine with great passion in this four centuries old estate, whose exposure to the sea allows the grapes to benefit from the sea spray all year round. Their bottle "Le Bel Amant" has conquered hearts and palates: its raspberry aromas and garrigue notes make it the darling of wine magazines! The manual harvest, the sorting by plot and the harvest at maturity give birth to authentic wines which are the reflection of a so characteristic soil.

Domaine La Garrigo is isolated in the commune of Tuchan and has been working with organic methods since 2002. The vines are grown organically and some biodynamic practices are also used. Yields are low due to the difficulty of the terroir. Vinification uses indigenous yeasts and no sulfites. Some of the estate's wines spend 6 to 12 months in underground barrels, while others are aged in barrels in the cellar. The winemaker offers various Fitou cuvées, as well as a single-varietal "pure Carignan". The estate is certified organic, and the wines are produced with as little technical intervention as possible.
