The cellar

The height wine growers of the union have put everything in common in order to constitute an unique and strong exploitation.

The individual competences of each partner complete the strength of the group and the experience acquired on two generation. They plant the vine, cultivate them, elaborate the wine and trade it. Each of the seven partners gets his own ability in one sector (vine, cellar, quality…).

Their implication in every stage of the vine growing and the wine making allows them to guarantee you a total control of the product and of its quality.

This union has been created in 1961. At that time, seven wine growers gathered their materials and their vines (8 hectares of vineyard at the beginning), and especially their work to form an agricultural cooperative society of common exploitation (SCAEC), an original structure which joins the dynamism of the group and the human dimension in the same venture.

Today, the Union des Jeunes Viticulteurs Récoltants is the third producer of Clairette de Die and seven partners work together the greatest vineyard of the appellation.
