DOMAINE LES EMINADES - SAINT CHINIAN

Les Eminades is a young domaine, founded in January 2002 by Luc and Patricia Bettoni after we were struck by the quality of the terroir in St-Chinian. Straddling the communes of Cébazan and Villespassans is a diversity of soils, including red sandstone, limestone and schist, flint and small stones.

Our vineyards lie at altitudes of between 170 and 270m above sea level. The majority are old Carignan (between 50 and 110 years old), Grenache (25-60 years), with a little Syrah and Cinsault (40 years old vines from the oeillaud variety). There is also 1 hectare of Sauvignon blanc.

Our vines are cultivated with the greatest respect for nature using no weedkillers or pesticides. All the vines are worked by a caterpillar tread tractor, so preserving the structure and balance of the soil.

Pruning depends on the grape variety, either gobelet or cordon de royat. Vine training, leaf plucking and debudding are done by hand so as not damage the vines and to maximise ripening of the grapes.
