The winegrower of Le Jardin Super

I do not work my soils, I feed them, with an annual mowing and by leaving an important grass cover. My yields are low; I seek to intervene as little as possible and to make quality juices.

A 2-hectare micro-estate

Old vines in the maritime Corbieres

Le Jardin Super is a very small estate of 2 hectares of old vines, in Treilles, in the Aude. A deliberately reduced surface, with low yields, where each plot is closely followed to draw the best from a terroir of character.

Carignan, grenache and syrah

Southern grapes, mostly massale selection

The estate grows old vines of carignan, grenache and syrah, mostly by massale selection. Three Mediterranean grapes that, on this terroir and at this age, give concentrated, expressive juices, faithful to the South.

Treilles, 10 km from the sea

Maritime Corbieres, Aude, 200 m altitude

The vineyard is set in Treilles, a small, quiet village of the Aude, 10 kilometres from the Mediterranean and 200 metres altitude. The nearness of the sea and the altitude bring freshness, in the maritime Corbieres area.

A complex geology

Limestone, schist and volcanic stone

The plots rest on a rich, varied geology: limestone, schist and volcanic stone sit side by side from one vine to the next. This mosaic of soils feeds the complexity of the grapes and the personality of the wines.

A low-intervention viticulture

Soils fed, grass cover, low yields

Here, the soils are not worked: they are fed, with an annual mowing and an important grass cover. Yields are low and intervention reduced to a minimum, with a single aim: to make quality juices, as naturally as possible.

Which grapes are grown at Le Jardin Super?

The estate grows three Mediterranean grapes as old vines: carignan, grenache and syrah. The vines are managed mostly by massale selection, a practice of replanting from the estate's best stocks to preserve the diversity of the vineyard.

What is massale selection?

Massale selection consists of choosing, within one's own vines, the best stocks to take graft wood and replant. Unlike clonal selection, it preserves the genetic diversity of the vineyard and the vines' adaptation to the terroir. At Le Jardin Super, it is at the heart of the management of the old vines.

What is the terroir and geology of Le Jardin Super?

The vines of Le Jardin Super grow on a complex geology, where limestone, schist and volcanic stone sit side by side. This diversity of soils, combined with the altitude (200 m) and the nearness of the Mediterranean (10 km), gives a terroir of character, suited to wines that are both concentrated and fresh.

How does the estate work the vines and soils?

The estate practises a low-intervention viticulture: the soils are not worked but fed, with an annual mowing and an important grass cover that promote soil life. Yields are deliberately low and the aim is to intervene as little as possible, in the vine and the cellar, to make quality juices.

What is the maritime Corbieres?

The maritime Corbieres is the part of the Corbieres closest to the Mediterranean, in the Aude. The influence of the sea and the wind play an important role: they bring freshness and good health to the grapes, on poor, varied soils, suited to expressive yet balanced southern wines.

Are the Le Jardin Super wines organic?

The estate emphasises a respectful, low-intervention approach: no soil work, grass cover, annual mowing, low yields and minimal intervention. The exact certification is not specified on the listing; for any question about a label, it is best to ask the winegrower directly.

Why grow old vines and aim for low yields?

Old vines naturally produce less, but more concentrated, more complex grapes, with roots deeply anchored in the terroir. By deliberately limiting yields, the estate seeks concentration, balance and sincerity of fruit, rather than volume.

What style of wine does Le Jardin Super seek?

The estate seeks quality juices, obtained as naturally as possible: wines from old-vine carignan, grenache and syrah, marked by a terroir of limestone, schist and volcanic stone, and freshened by the nearness of the sea. A sincere expression of the South, on a human scale.
