The Domaine Clos du Gravillas is a wonderful vineyard located in the heart of the renowned Minervois wine region in France. Established in 1999 by the couple John and Nicole Bojanowski, this 8-hectare estate stands out by producing wines that reflect the exceptional terroir of the region. Domaine Clos du Gravillas is nestled in the Agly Valley, an area known for its outstanding biodiversity. The estate is surrounded by scrubland and woods, and the soil is mainly composed of gravels, a perfect mix for the cultivation of vines that produce wines of remarkable depth and complexity. John and Nicole follow the principles of organic farming, thereby respecting the nature and terroir of which they are the custodians. The estate does not use any chemicals and works by hand, with low yields to respect the intrinsic quality of the vines. The philosophy of Domaine Clos du Gravillas is to produce wines that faithfully express their origin and vintage as much as possible. Domaine Clos du Gravillas offers a range of white, rosé and red wines, all of great finesse and superb concentration. The wines are fermented traditionally, with indigenous yeasts and minimal intervention, for an authentic expression of the Minervois terroir. One of the estate's flagship wines is the ''Lo Vièhl'', which means ''The Old'' in Occitan. This wine is made from Carignan, a local grape variety over 100 years old. This wine perfectly embodies the spirit of Domaine Clos du Gravillas: wines that tell a story, that of a terroir, of an era, and of passionate people.
