Domaine Padie

Domaine Padie

Born in Burgundy, Jean-Philippe Padié moved back to his grandparent’s home in the Southwest in 2001. There he started this 15ha biodynamic domaine producing 30,000 bottles based in the middle of the rosemary and thyme garrigues of Calce in Roussillon. 7 varieties are planted within 30 parcels of vines, he works with complete respect for the soil, his biodynamic principals releasing life to the vines. His ability to bring the life of the vineyards into the glass is what attracted us to this domaine. In the winery he works with no additives or sulphur, the use of large format oak and clay funnel the vivacity of the soils. These wines move away from tradition for this region. The freshness and precision carried by insane minerality are something very special.  

Roussillon
FRANCE

Originally from Burgundy, Jean-Phillipe Padié studied agronomy in Montpellier.

After working for Mas Amiel and Gerard Gauby he established his own winery in Calce in 2003. Since then he has expanded his holdings to 18 ha spread out over 30 micro-plots that he works with a team of two others. Carignan, Grenache in all three colors, Syrah, Mourvedre, and Macabeu are farmed using agrobiology and biodynamic practices.

Viticulture

Jean-Philippe Padié’s vineyard, in Calce, in the Roussillon region, is managed with complete respect for the soil: ploughing by horse when the chenille does not pass on slopes that are too steep, very low yields (around 15hl/ha). A work of madness that flourishes in biodynamics. Pebble wines, fruit wines and wines of time, as Jean-Philippe explains so well. The result is worthy of his commitment because of its complexity and minerality. The story? First winemaking emotions of our great Gaillacs from Plageoles , then studies of agronomy in Montpellier, passage to Mas Amiel and Gauby, famous estates of this corner of Roussillon.

Winemaking

A stony garrigue, it manages 15 ha in the midst of rosemary, santoline and thyme. About thirty micro-parcels (7 grape varieties), like aromatic musical notes, allow him to play on the complexity and compose his melodies, giving birth to 4 great flagship vintages.
