Our history
Vignobles Foncalieu is a union of 801 winegrowers in the heart of the Languedoc region. United by the values of cooperation since their creation, our winegrowers are also united by their desire to sublimate their terroirs. Every day, they strive to make bold, authentic wines with sustainability at their core! The Celliers du Nouveau Monde winery in Puichéric, the Vignerons de la Cité de Carcassonne, the Vignerons du Pays d’Ensérune near Béziers and the La Redorte & Castelnau d’Aude winery are all part of the group.
Men and women who, thanks to their sensitivity and human qualities, have been building Les Vignobles Foncalieu since 1967 and revealing their winegrowing souls.

Our values
A winegrower’s soul since 1967. This signature links us to our roots, our heritage. It guides our vision and our commitments, and constantly drives us to reinvent ourselves.
Our terroirs
From the gates of Carcassonne to the shores of the Mediterranean, our terroirs are as unique as they are varied. Our winemakers are guided by the same vision: to produce exceptional wines that respect their terroirs, their richness and the environment.
From the balconies of the Aude to the limestone soils of the Corbières and the red soils of Saint-Chinian, we cultivate 5,172 hectares of vines in 4 AOPs (Minervois, Saint-Chinian, Corbières, Languedoc) and 4 IGPs (Pays d’Oc, Vallée du Paradis, Coteaux d’Enserune, Cité de Carcassonne).
