Domaine Folie Vigneronne: organic Faugères wines on a schist terroir
Domaine Folie Vigneronne
A family estate of 8 hectares of schist hillsides in Autignac, in the heart of AOP Faugeres. An adventure led by Anne-Sophie, farmed organically, around the traditional grapes of the Languedoc (Carignan, Syrah, Grenache). Sincere, mineral and accessible wines, to discover direct.
In the heart of the Languedoc, the Faugeres appellation is a small viticultural gem. Nestled between sea and mountain, on the foothills of the Montagne Noire, it enjoys a rare terroir: schist. It is on these singular soils that Domaine Folie Vigneronne was born, a human adventure guided by the passion for wine, respect for nature and the pleasure of sharing.
A story of passion and transmission
Behind the estate lies a simple, authentic story: that of a true love at first sight for the vine and wine. Anne-Sophie chose to become a winegrower and to draw her family into the adventure. To grow the vine, create her own cuvees and share her wines with enthusiasts: that is the spirit of Folie Vigneronne. Here, each bottle tells a story of work, nature and conviviality, carried by a modern vision of the Languedoc: a human-scale vineyard, organic farming respectful of nature, and sincere, accessible, expressive wines.
Wine, above all a story of pleasure and conviviality
Each cuvee is designed to be shared around a meal, a moment with friends or a great table. A human-scale production, respectful of nature, where the taste for wine is cultivated as much as the taste for sharing.

The unique terroir of the schists of Faugères
AOP Faugeres is famous for its exceptional terroir composed almost exclusively of schist. These very ancient soils have a layered structure that allows the vine's roots to sink deep into the earth: there the vine draws the water and minerals it needs to resist dry periods. In the glass, this terroir gives birth to wines recognisable by a fine minerality, aromas of ripe fruit and spices, and an elegant, balanced structure. Faugeres wines are often described as powerful yet always refined, with a remarkable freshness for southern wines. The estate, located in Autignac, farms 8 hectares of hillsides over several schist parcels, organically.
The traditional grapes of Faugères
The estate works with the historic grapes of the Languedoc to respect the identity of the appellation. For the reds: Carignan, Syrah, Grenache, Mourvedre and Cinsault, with old Carignan vines, the emblematic grape of the Languedoc, playing an important part in some cuvees. For the whites and roses, the estate favours fresh, aromatic grapes: Grenache blanc, floral and fruity, and Bourboulenc, rarer, bringing notes of citrus and flowers. The grapes destined for whites and roses are harvested in the cool morning hours to preserve all their aromatic freshness.
