In the heart of the Minervois
Located in the heart of the Cru La Livinière terroirs, the estate Les Combes Cachées was created ex nihilo by three friends with a passion for terroirs and wine: Xavier, a cereal grower, Michel, a globetrotting geographer, and François, agronomist and entrepreneur. They buy their first vines in July 2015, harvested in September, and produced their first vintage: 2015. The vines (15 ha, with 12 in production by 2022), certified organic since 2018, are scattered over some very fine terroirs in the communes of La Livinière, Siran and Cesseras (34). They range in altitude from 100 to 400 m, from the terraces to the hillsides of La Livinière, on the foothills of the Montagne Noire.
Over 30 awards in 2 years

A new cellar for Les Combes Cachées
That's it: we've moved into our brand-new Siran winery, a brand-new 600 m² production facility located directly opposite our original winery. The envelope, taken from the 1904 cooperative winery, still illustrates the winegrowing architecture of the early XXᵉ century. But inside, everything has been refurbished: roofs, [...]
Frisson des Combes
Released last April, our very first effervescent wine was an immediate success! Neither crémant, nor pet'nat, but an effervescent rosé from a plot of high-altitude Mourvèdre grapes (410 m). At just 10.5°, its aromatic character, fine bubbles and thirst-quenching freshness make it a real winner. More than half the cuvée was sold out in just three months, a [...].
It's springtime!
The vine awakens: it «buds». The buds are beginning to show their fragile leaves, full of promise. After our systematic application of sheep manure in autumn, our inter-row grass sowing is magnificent this spring. Rich mixtures and a profusion of micro-organisms for a living soil and effective beneficials. A [...]
