2020: Street Art in the cellar!

The new Nissan lez Ensérune winery had a revamp last year and is now our main wine tourism attraction. The Vignerons du Pays d’Ensérune haven’t stopped there; they’ve made it into an original and unique venue with 5 regional street artists creating 5 murals over 8m high.

The collaboration has enhanced the site, raised its profile, given the cooperative a modern image and attracted younger customers.

Over 200 people flock to this unique setting for a drink with friends, old and new, every Wednesday!

2019: OUR NEW HEV VINTAGES (HIGH ENVIRONMENTAL VALUE)

The 2019 vintage stood out for our first productions being HEV-certified.

The certification is the result of a collective long-term endeavour which began over 20 years ago: It recognises the Vignerons du Pays d’Ensérune’s commitment to protecting the environment and its sustainable production methods.

The certification applies to 4 main areas:

  • protect the area’s biodiversity
  • reduce the use of pesticides
  • adapt fertilisation
  • Manage irrigation and protect water resources

2019

A 21st century winery

In 2017, the Vignerons du Pays d’Ensérune launched a major investment plan for the wine making facilities at Cazouls-les-Béziers.
The objective is to develop innovative vinification processes that are not only highly effective but also environementally friendly.
After less than eight month’s work, the Cazouls winery has been completely transformed to meet new standards, in terms of quality of course, and in terms of sustainability and responsibility: this 21st century winery already complies with tomorrow’s standards, i.e. reduced water consumption, less waste, and measures to ensure the safety and well-being of employees.

2017

Launch of mating disruption

Always striving to produce more environmentally-friendly wines, the Vignerons du Pays d’Ensérune implemented mating disruption in 2015 to combat the grape worm. This method involves releasing pheromones that prevent the butterflies from mating and hence the birth of any larvae.
Known as biological pest control, this technique provides an effective, environmentally-friendly alternative to chemical treatments. It is now used on more than 550 hectares since its launch in 2015.

2015

The Wine Advocate

In 2014, the four Grands Vins produced by the Atelier Prestige were acknowledged by one of the most influential wine publications in the world, Robert Parker’s “Wine Advocate”.
The AOP Saint-Chinian “L’Apogée” and the PGI Coteaux d’Ensérune “Les Illustres” were ranked among the top wines.
The ultimate accolade for our devoted winegrowers, and a validation of the rigorous quality approach launched six years ago.

2014

Preservation of biodiversity and water quality

In 2013, the Vignerons du Pays d’Ensérune joined forces with the Water Agency in an environmental initiative. Diagnostics were carried out on their growing practices and their impact on biodiversity in the vineyards.
A major awareness programme was then organized to encourage winegrowers to change their growing practices in order to conserve and preserve the quality of surface and underground water resources. Tools enabling ploughing between and under the vines gradually replaced chemical products.

2013

Vignobles Foncalieu received the Revue des Vins de France magazine’s “Wine Cooperative of the year” award. The wines regularly receive awards at major events, such as Vinalies Internationales, the Brussels International Competition, Chardonnay du Monde, Syrah du Monde, and the International Agricultural Show in Paris. Our wines are exported all over the world.

2012

Launch of organic production

In 2009, the Vignerons du Pays d’Ensérune began using organic winegrowing and vinification methods. Support is provided for members of the cooperative who wish to convert to organic farming and develop a new range of organic wines.

2009

Creation of the “Atelier Prestige” (“Prestige Workshop”)

In 2008, in collaboration with the Union les Vignobles Foncalieu, the Atelier Prestige was set up, with a more rigorous set of specifications, to mobilize dedicated winegrowers. The grapes are sorted by hand, the musts are vinified separately with the production of four top-of-the-range wines. A serious challenge for our winegrowers and oenologists!

2008

Membership of the Union de Cooperatives Les Vignobles Foncalieu

The Vignerons du pays d’Ensérune joined the Union de Coopératives Les Vignobles Foncalieu in order to further develop the potential of their vineyards. They were joined by other wineries in the Grand Suud, Corbières, Minervois and the Côtes de Rhône.

Protection of the lesser grey shrike

In the 2000s, the Vignerons du Pays d’Ensérune decided to monitor the flora and fauna in the Lespignan wetlands. They took protective measures to save nesting birds, especially one rare, threatened species, the Lesser Grey Shrike, which for several years provided the inspiration for a wine.

2000

Creation of the “les vignerons du pays d’ensérune” winery

In 1995, the descendants of the Vignerons Libres de Maraussan organized the largest merger of wineries in France, consisting of seven cooperatives producing more than 700,000 hectolitres. A major step forward for the French wine industry.
And so it was that the Vignerons du Pays d’Ensérune were created. Solidarity and democratic values are upheld, with the objective of improving members’ incomes.

The Winegrowers of the midi region support the french army

The harvest in 1914, when the First World War broke out, was abundant, and winegrowers in the Midi were able to produce substantial quantities of wine. The Vignerons Libres united with numerous winegrowers in the Midi to donate more than 200, 000 hectolitres of wine to the French army to “keep up the troops’ morale”.

Construction of the first vinification facilities inaugurated by Jean Jaurès

Just four years later, in 1905, the first cellars were built. The site drew inspiration from a visit by Jean Jaurès, who was full of praise for the initiative as an example of collective action. He also bought a share in the winery.
The cooperative members proudly announced their humanist project on the front of the building. The old musketeers’ motto was slightly modified to reflect the cooperative’s solidarity:
“ALL FOR ONE, ONE FOR ALL”.
The winery has been classified as an Historic Monument, not only for its historical significance, but also because of the symbol that it represents for the winegrowers.
