For several years, Gilles Azam's production has been centred around a few well-defined vintages.
The fruit of careful viticulture, aware of the value of the place and the historical basis, his wines have an assertive character and fresh, intense flavours that will blossom when exposed to the air.
The estate has established itself as a point of reference for the entire Limoux appellation.
The Domaine Les Hautes Terres is the property of Gilles Azam, located in Roquetaillade, west of Limoux, in the Haute Vallée de l'Aude, at the foot of the Pyrenees. A passionate, authentic and very rigorous winemaker, Gilles Azam has been working at Domaine Les Hautes Terres since 1999.
The vineyard of the Domaine Les Hautes Terres now comprises 9 hectares of vines divided into 12 plots situated between 350 and 600 metres in altitude, covering all the terroirs of Roquetaillade: causse of lacustrine limestone, deep clay-sandstone soil (Nummulite sandstone), and the famous Turritelle marl. Since 2000, the vines of the Domaine Les Hautes Terres have been cultivated in certified organic agriculture. In the cellar, the same precepts of naturalness and authenticity prevail, with the use of indigenous yeasts.
The wines of Domaine Les Hautes Terres are marked by a beautiful finesse and freshness, and reveal nervous and brilliant whites with fine bubbles, and taut, clean and elegant reds.
Minty, citrusy, tight, the fruit shows a lot of drive and freshness. The very beautiful material of this red Limoux expresses with brilliance and naturalness the wildness of a true highland wine.
Tasty, brioche-like, embellished by a hint of lemon zest, this is undeniably one of the prettiest bubbles in the Languedoc. Very invigorating, straightforward in its raw natural balance, the palate settles on a fine effervescence.
