The wines of Cave Anne de Joyeuse

Cave Anne de Joyeuse has its cellars in Limoux, a commune in the Languedoc. In the 1970s, Anne de Joyeuse was one of the first wineries in the region to switch to quality grapes. Since the end of the last century it has worked strictly according to the Protect Planet program, using as few pesticides as possible.

Cave Anne de Joyeuse was built in 1929 in the Haute Vallée de l'Aude in the Limoux district, in the French Languedoc. Although Limoux is nowadays best known for its sparkling wines, Anne de Joyeuse has traditionally focused mainly on still red and, later, white wines.

At the end of the last century, the Cave, like many other wineries in the Languedoc, started pruning back its Carignan and switching to better grape varieties such as Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay.

Anne de Joyeuse has worked according to the Protect Planet program for fifteen years now. The use of artificial fertilizer and pesticides in the vineyard is kept to an absolute minimum. The winemakers do this out of conviction, but have also noticed that the vines have become healthier as a result.
