About the estate
The Domaine du Météore estate is situated high in the Languedoc mountains, where vines grow within and around a meteorite crater that struck a hillside ten thousand years ago. The domaine's vineyards span the schist soils of the Faugères and Saint-Chinian appellations. Surrounded by garrigue scented with wild thyme, fennel, and cistus, the winery produces organic wines inspired by the local landscape. Nestled in the Haut-Languedoc national park, the property welcomes visitors for tastings and walks amidst views stretching down to the Mediterranean.
The eno directory lists 11 wines, mostly from Syrah and Grenache. The estate sells to retail and horeca.
