Les Vignerons de Pouzols Mailhac
In the heart of the Minervois region, along the road that connects Carcassonne to Béziers, the villages of Pouzols and Mailhac overlook a vast amphitheater of vineyards bordered by wild scrubland. For 2,000 years, this vineyard, now 550 hectares, with its varied soils and exposures, has produced high-quality, highly expressive wines, regularly winning awards in national competitions.
Domain presentation
The Cave de Pouzols et Mailhac vineyard, approximately 550 hectares, is located south of Minerve. The terroir is composed of clay-limestone soils with high stoniness. The soil’s water reserves are average to low. The terraces of Pouzols et Mailhac are underlain by impermeable marl, allowing the vines to develop long root systems, which contributes to the concentration and maturity of the grapes.
In 2019, winegrowers collectively committed to the High Environmental Value (HVE) approach. It demonstrates an effective commitment to environmental performance. This is measured at several levels: contribution to the biodiversity of the vineyard, reasoned intervention in phytosanitary treatments, rational control of fertilization, management of water resources.
