Domaine de Montnègre : exploitant de vins du Languedoc

It’s in 2002 that Françoise and Patrick came to grips with the family domain, which was then in tenant farming. From then on , despite they just got their retirement, they put a lot of themselves into their new job for theses lands so much cherished by the whole family : Françoise grew up there with her 6 brothers and sisters and all of their children have many holidays memories.

Patrick put then his agronomy engineer skills in the service of the vineyard : Its rigour and its curiosity conjugate every day to improve the work in vineyards and the techniques of wine making. The challenge is so big but the passion is there and comes along with a human adventure rich in meetings and in sharing’s.
