Our vineyards
Terre des Dames has the same structure as 200 years ago: small plots on different levels, surrounded by ancient stone walls and wild scrubland.
Here, no pesticides or synthetic fertilizers are applied. For most of the year, natural cover crops favor an ecological balance.
Our oldest vine is 100 years old, others around 50 – 70 years.
All our grapes are harvested and selected by hand.
Organic since 2009(Ecocert).
Terre des Dames
In the heart of the estate lies the 18th century farmhouse surrounded by its vineyards.
Owner and winemaker since 2002, Lidewij van Wilgen, is Dutch by origin but Languedocienne by heart. Her three daughters grew up on the estate and stayed involved ever since.
Production and vinification
Our yields do not exceed 25 hl per hectare. All the grapes are harvested and selected by hand.
The vinification is natural, gentle, and respecting the grapes.
