Montmija : AOP Corbières et varietal wine

 

Montmija, an authentic, terroir-oriented family brand at the heart of Cathar country, is the benchmark for Mediterranean-style varietals.

 

The family vineyard of Montmija embodies the handing down of an ancestral savoir-faire which bestows its name upon our company’s collection of Organic wines. The domain dates from 1945 with the acquisition by grandfather Clément of the first vines on the hill of Montmija at Ribaute, a unique place surrounded by hills and scrubland. Afterwards, it was Jean, father, under the helpful dynamic influence of the German ”greens”, who launched the transition to organic agriculture in the 1960’s, long before any organic labels existed. Ribaute thus became the first 100% organic village in Europe.

CORBIERES-MONTMIJA, AOP Corbières, comes from the vines of this domain and from plots rented or under contract, which all stretch along the Orbieu river valley between Lagrasse and Fabrezan.
