[me.tɛ.jaʒ] : An old and common term in viticulture which refers to the leasing of a vineyard plot (called "Métairie") in which the operator pays the owner a portion of the grapes or wine as rent.
From a long line of Burgundian producers specializing in great Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, our family has also been established in Languedoc for over 25 years. We have developed unparalleled knowledge of the best terroirs capable of producing Pinot Noir and Chardonnay with authentic typicity. Our Domaine de La Métairie d'Alon, in the Upper Aude Valley, where we have developed expertise in organic farming, has become an undisputed reference for fine Pinot Noir and Chardonnay wines from the Languedoc region.
Métayage is a project that sprung from our desire to share this savoir-faire with several partner-winegrowers who manage their Pinot Noir and Chardonnay vineyards organically, using the same approach, on fresh, clay-limestone terroirs. The grapes are then vinified and aged in our own winery located near Carcassonne.
