On the slopes of the « Balcons de l’Aude », amphitheater leaning against the Montagne Noire, facing South east, the soil of sandstone and clay is the perfect environment for aromatic plants and scrubland of the “garrigue”, bordering the vineyards.
Domaine Pujol
12h30 Red
Minervois AOP 2021

Estate bottled
Thyme blossoms in Spring
The 5 hectares owned by Louis Biscan in 1900 became Domaine Pujol when he married his daughter to Edouard Pujol in the thirties. Since then four generations have worked on the Estate. Today the property is totally self sufficient, with its own bottling, a brand new cellar and ageing facilities.
This major investment currently shows some return, with a quality no one argues with and lots of projects ahead for further improvement.
Clay and gravels result from alluvium brought in the Tertiary. Vertical layers of sandstone and marl alternate, thus providing a very good drainage of the soil. Thyme blossoms here in Spring.
Domaine Pujol represents 120 hectares, 30 of which are Minervois AOC.
