Concrete actions

Every year, Vignobles Dom Brial produce the national cuvée sold all over France among firemen.This Côtes du Roussillon” red and rosé wine enabled to contribute to this cause with an amount of 125 000€ and made Dom Brial the first historical partner of the Orphans association and one of their most loyal support.

Toques & Clochers is a wine auction and huge fete held on the Limouxin vineyard terrain. Profits from this sale are used each year to restore a bell tower in one of 42 member villages in the estate. This year the honour goes to the village of Malras.

The Vignerons de Laudun & Chusclan have rehabilitated the Clos de Taman vineyard on the basis of a study in collaboration with the French wine authority INAO. This vineyard, which adheres to the Conduite Raisonnée standards, has a special cuvée called “le Clos de Taman.” An exploratory path that is freely open to the public, called “La Vigne dans le temps” (Vines over time) retraces the history of the vineyard, in an area marked by the presence of the Marcoule nuclear centre. It allows visitors to discover the history of the land: existing low walls, dry stone huts and "mazets" (small farmhouses) have been restored. An explanatory display, an orientation table, shady rest areas and the explanations of the tourist guides will delight and inform the interested public.

Re-conquering territory that has been invaded by shrubland, to make the showcase vineyard, Dom Brial, this is the challenge that has been successfully overcome by our winemakers: vines supported by stakes, walls rebuilt, areas covered with trees and flowers, a multitude of paths for everybody to enjoy walks through the countryside. View the different phases of this reconquering process…

Sustainable development leads us towards an approach that is economic, social and environmental. This applies to our five vineyard terrains: Marnes noires, Marnes Sableuses, Sables Rouges, Galets de Trias and Calcaires à Rudistes. These five vineyard sites have independent cuvées.
