Domaine de la Perdrix: authentic Roussillon wines, between sea and mountain
Domaine de la Perdrix - AOP Côtes du Roussillon and Rivesaltes in Trouillas, a family estate since 1811
Domaine de la Perdrix is a family Roussillon estate of 45 hectares, in Trouillas in the Aspres, in organic conversion, specialising in Côtes du Roussillon and Rivesaltes.
In Trouillas, in the heart of the Aspres, Domaine de la Perdrix has grown the vine since 1811, between the Mediterranean Sea and the Pyrenees. 45 hectares in organic conversion, plot-by-plot winemaking and Vins Doux Naturels: all the Catalan soul of the Roussillon, direct from the grower.
Located in Trouillas, in the heart of the Aspres, Domaine de la Perdrix has cultivated since 1811 an exceptional vineyard that now spans 45 hectares, just 15 km south of Perpignan. Passed down from generation to generation, it has been run since 1997 by André and Virginie Gil, who gave the estate new life by vinifying and ageing their own cuvées from the 2000 vintage.

A rare terroir between the Mediterranean and the Canigou
The vines of Domaine de la Perdrix thrive on a mosaic of soils made of rolled pebbles, clays and schists, bathed by the Mediterranean climate of the Aspres. The strong daytime heat is tempered by the tramontane and the cool nights from the Pyrenees, offering ideal conditions for the ripening of the grapes.
These naturally low yields give birth to concentrated, complex and elegant wines, with a lovely ageing potential.
Plot-by-plot winemaking to reveal the wines' identity
Each plot is vinified separately to highlight the singularity of its terroir. The blend is then carried out with precision to create balanced, expressive cuvées, authentic reflections of the Roussillon.
The estate makes both still wines and Vins Doux Naturels (VDN) in AOP Côtes du Roussillon, Côtes du Roussillon Villages and Rivesaltes.
A vineyard committed to biodiversity and organic farming
Domaine de la Perdrix is surrounded by garrigue, forests, olive trees and cork oaks. This unique natural environment inspires a respectful viticulture: gentle ploughing, organic amendments, manual harvesting and limited treatments.
Since 2018, the estate has been in organic conversion, affirming its commitment to make wines that respect the land and living things.
