Château Ollieux-Romanis, Pierre Bories, Corbières

The Château Ollieux Romanis is a magnificent property, surrounded by old vines and olive trees or 'Ollieux'. It has been owned by the same family since 1860. The oldest Carignan vines were planted here in 1896. Wine is an important part of the family history. Jacqueline Bories was probably the first women to vinify wine in the Languedoc at a time when wine was a man's affair. Avoiding the temptations of fashion, she developed the potential of traditional grape varieties often considered as being of a low quality level : Carignan, Cinsault, Grenache gris, Alicante... In 2001, her son Pierre, after spending ten years in finance, was caught up by his enthusiasm for the family vineyard, joining the domaine and creating a new collection of wines. The predominant characteristics of the wines produced by Jacqueline and Pierre are a surprising freshness, soft and rich with a lively vinous style, intense fruit and a refined mineral texture. 

Alba is a blend of Cinsault and Grenaches, Harvest at the first light of the down. Brings freshness and lightness to the wine resulting from the work of the wines maker who have passionate and sincere. Through the wines, The vigneron want to share the terroir and purity of the wines.
