Domaine La Madura, the expression of the great Saint-Chinian terroirs
Domaine La Madura
An emblematic wine estate of the AOP Saint-Chinian (Languedoc), certified Organic Agriculture. Founded in 1999 by Nadia and Cyril Bourgne, a Bordeaux-trained oenologist. A mosaic vineyard between 150 and 300 m, on schist, clay-limestone and sandstone.
At the heart of the Languedoc, Domaine La Madura is an emblematic vineyard of the Saint-Chinian appellation, renowned for the exceptional diversity of its terroirs. Certified Organic Agriculture, the estate relies on a demanding viticulture, respectful of the soils and biodiversity. Located in the Languedoc hinterland, this mosaic vineyard reveals all the richness of the landscapes and microclimates of the Saint-Chinian appellation.
The history of Domaine La Madura
In 1999, Nadia and Cyril Bourgne left Bordeaux to settle in Saint-Chinian, convinced of the exceptional potential of the estate's terroirs. Cyril Bourgne's path reflects a solid winegrowing training: a biochemistry degree, a master's in genetics, a National Oenology Diploma, and a postgraduate degree in oenology and ampelography. After several years of experience in Bordeaux, notably at Chateau Lynch-Bages then at Chateau de Fieuzal, he chose to create his own estate. An important step was taken in 2015 with the construction of a modern cellar designed by architects Passelac and Roques, conceived to best support the precision work carried out in the vineyard.
A mosaic vineyard at the heart of the Saint-Chinian appellation
The vineyard is made up of several plots spread between 150 and 300 metres of altitude, offering a great diversity of microclimates. The schist soils, very old, offer drainage and deep rooting; the clay-limestone (causses, scree, glacis) favour complexity and balance; the sandstone soils, rarer and rich in red clays, give powerful, structured wines. This mosaic of terroirs is one of the estate's great assets.

The grapes and cuvees of Domaine La Madura
The diversity of the soils goes hand in hand with a varied grape mix: Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre and Carignan for the reds, Sauvignon blanc and Piquepoul blanc for the whites. In red (AOP Saint-Chinian): Classic Rouge, supple and fresh; Canopé Rouge, dense and long; and LM, a velvety, deep plot selection. In white (Vin de France): Classic Blanc, fresh and airy; and Canopé Blanc, aged in barrels on lees, ample and persistent. Direct from the property.
An organic and agroecological viticulture
Domaine La Madura farms its vines in an agroecological logic, aiming to preserve the life of the soils and the natural balance of the vineyard. The practices rest on a natural grass cover, mechanical soil work, adapted organic inputs and precise observation of the climatic conditions. This approach helps to limit interventions and to favour a more resistant vine. Certified Organic Agriculture, the estate is committed to biodiversity, the reduction of inputs, sustainable water management and soil protection.
Classic Rouge & Canopé Rouge
AOP Saint-Chinian - the terroir reds
Classic Rouge (Grenache 49%, Carignan 21%, Syrah 18%, Mourvedre 12%): cherry, liquorice and garrigue, a supple, fresh palate with fine tannins. Canopé Rouge (Syrah 54%, Mourvedre 25%, Grenache 14%, Carignan 7%): blueberry, violet and smoky notes, a fine density and a great length.
