Domaine la Terrasse d'Élise


Xavier Braujou started his life as a woodcutter. He loved the hours spent alone in the forest, in direct contact with nature. But his real passion was wine. That is the reason why he started to buy some vineyards in Saint Jean de Fos in 1998. After a few years practising both activities (wine and wood), Xavier decided to work 100% in the vineyards. After only 10 years, he understands every single bit of his terroirs. His knowledge was not acquired in scientific books but by spending hours and hours in the vineyards observing, analysing and trying to understand his soils, climate and vines. Xavier’s speciality is to blend terroirs from a same grape variety rather than different grape varieties. His mono-varietal wines do not comply with the Coteaux du Languedoc appellation, which why he produces vin de pays.
