CHATEAU OLLIEUX ROMANIS - CORBIERES

In the heart of the Pinada massif, on the winding road that connects Fontfroide to Lagrasse, Château Ollieux Romanis stands as the historical cradle of a singular vision of wine in the Corbières.
A place of passage, worship and culture, it carries within it the memory of the centuries and the energy of renewal.

First a farmhouse, then a priory, then a distillery, the estate became a wine estate in its own right in the eighteenth century. 

A terroir of depth and contrast, comprising multiple soil types, each with its own function. Under Mediterranean influence, the estate’s parcels extend across a complex, vibrant soil.

Mediterranean red sandstone rich in quartz and feldspar, red sandstone limits evaporation, absorbing and releasing minerals with finesse. It enables a bright expression of fruit and provides a natural foundation for organic farming.

Clay captures and slowly release water, maintaining freshness and humidity. The key to slow, controlled ripening.

Limestone - Dry, porous, demanding, limestone drives roots deep. This controlled water stress yields robust, deeply rooted vines.

At Château Ollieux Romanis, environmental commitment is self-evident.
The vines are grown under certified organic farming, with constant attention to biodiversity, soils, and balance.

A flock of sheep grazes the estate in winter, providing natural weeding and enriching soils with organic matter. A gradual transition to biodynamics is underway, with the first herbal teas produced on site.

Extremely aromatic, with traces of dried lavender and dusty earth on the nose, echoed on the palate by dark, sun-saturated, velvety fruit. Distinctly Corbières—just rustic enough to feel raw and sensual. A well-balanced, juicy and flavourful blend. The nose shows red berries, currants and wild herbs, leading to a medium-bodied finish with a medium tannic grip.
