About Winery and Wines
Since 1840, the OURNAC family have been driven by the need to PROTECT our Languedoc land, TRANSMIT it, and MAINTAIN a sustainable vineyard. The Domaine Coudoulet is the challenge of a lively family project, creating elegant wines which we have taken pride in SHARING for 8 generations.
Located on the foothills of the Black Mountain in the heart of the Minervois region, our precious vines grow in a clay-limestone soil. The hillsides are surrounded by garrigue, junipers, thymes, holm oaks, wild lavender, almond and olive trees, they are located between 80 and 350 m above sea level and tempered by the crisp mountain air.
The basis of our production philosophy is to harvest grapes of exceptional quality. Obtaining them is the result of our WINEMAKER know-how. Vinification is almost traditional. We do not pretend to invent, everything lies with the balance, the ability to combine time and human action. Blending happens according to our accumulate knowledge as well as the unique character of each of our plots.
Our AOP Minervois and Cru La Livinière are great red wines built around Syrah. Our Piedmont terroir allows us to create subtle wines, where we chose finesse over opulence. Our best Syrahs in velvet gloves!
But also.. A common passion for our 20 grape varieties keeps our family together. From grape varieties outside the box to comforting classics, they flourish under the sun of southern France.
We grow rare grape varieties, such as Verdejo from Spain, Petit Verdot from Bordeaux, Italian Sangiovese, Californian Petite Syrah or Assyrtiko from Greece. These choices stand from encounters, crushes, and the need to adapt as much to weather changes as to 21st century palates.
