Château Ollieux-Romanis is a magnificent property located in Montséret, in the heart of the Corbières. Surrounded by vineyards and olive trees - olivis, in Latin, gives the Occitan word "olious", which became Ollieux - it has belonged to the same family since 1860. Following a reunification in 2006, it is the largest private estate in the Corbières, with 67 hectares of vines planted, including the oldest, Carignan, in 1896.
Wine is a family affair here. Jacqueline Bories was one of the first winemakers in the Languedoc at a time when wine was mainly a man's business. Without giving into fashions, she knew how to get the best out of grape varieties that were once considered of low quality: Carignan, Cinsault, Grenache gris, Alicante... In 2001, her son Pierre, after a decade in finance, joined the domaine and proposed new cuvées. The main features of the wines created by Jacqueline and Pierre: an astonishing freshness, a lot of roundness, fruit and minerality.
