Our Story

It all started in the 1980s, when Roger Mangin settled in the village of Vingrau to finally realise his dream of making his own wine. An exciting adventure began then, first with a few hectares, which will quickly multiply facing the success of the wines, to become today 35 hectares of vines, all cultivated in integrated viticulture. Today, this passion continues with the 3rd generation.

The Elegance of the Terroir

Between the Mediterranean Sea and the Pyrenees Mountains, the vast mosaic of the terroirs of Roussillon allows the production of powerful and generous red wines, with blends of Syrah, Grenache, Mourvèdre and Carignan. White wines are well kept secrets. Fresh and elegant, they feature local grape varieties such as Grenache Blanc and Roussanne.

Les Terrasses and the Arago Cave

Located on the west side of the Vingrau valley, the Verdouble canyon wind between the limestone cliffs. These erosion-prone waters contain a multitude of caves, including the famous “Caune de l’Arago”, where the skull of a 450,000-year-old paleolithic man – the oldest human fossil found in France – was discovered. Our vines, planted in terraces on the edge of the cave, inspired the name of the estate.
