Located close to the famous Carcassonne city in the South of France we are a small traditional winegrower and our 25 acres vineyard is in our family since 1895.

Mourviels is the only red wine which associates Atlantic type  merlot-cabernet grape and Mediterranean grenache-syrah grape to obtain originals complexes aromas.

Our vineyard ground is formed with chalky white stone and marly clay on on the south, south-west hillside.

The climate which plays between the Mediterranean dry and warm sun and the freshness of Atlantic ocean, helps in the complete maturation of the grapes.

Our wine production combines modernism and ancestral know-how. A quarter of the wine is aged six month in French oak barrels and then assembled.

As we seek the quality we have a relative low productivity of grape (35hl/ha). We produce only 12,000 bottles of 75cl per year of an excellent red wine with best quality-price ratio for export.
