We're talking to you about his Winery
| What a pleasure to find in the Roussillon such fruity, fresh, floral wines, with such a beautiful minerality! Loïc Roure settled in the Agly Valley in 2003 when he bought an old cooperative winery in Lansac, which had been closed for 13 years. It took him the desire to open his own wine bar/restaurant to discover, a few years before his installation, the world of the vine. It is by doing an exciting internship with Thierry Allemand (Cornas) that he discovers the profession. Only a few days with Thierry, and he realizes that in reality his life is this! After having searched in vain for vineyards in Ardèche, he rediscovers Roussillon where he spent many vacations as a child! There were vines for sale, and his meeting with Cyril Fahl and Jean-Louis Tribouley finally convinced him to set up shop. The Winery du Possible is thus created in 2003 with at the beginning 2,5 ha then 4,5 ha in 2004, 7 ha some years later 10,5 ha since 2012. He quickly shared his huge cooperative cellar (600 m2 and 5 m high ceiling) with Edouard Laffite (Winery du Bout du Monde). They can thus share not only all the equipment but also exchange on all subjects concerning the wine. Loïc Roure believes that it is only in 2009 that the cellar has found its full balance and that the vinification has been greatly simplified. This region is excessively windy, which allows for simple work in the vineyards from a disease management point of view. The very dry soils limit competition between plants. The soils are worked with a rototiller, a caterpillar, a tractor on 3 ha, a winch or simply with a pickaxe. | Spring treatments are carried out with sulphur and, depending on the vintage, with Bordeaux mixture (three times in 9 years), as well as with various plant infusions. Green work is essential in order to treat as little as possible. Soil amendment is systematic because the soil is very filtering. In the cellar, the vinification is rather cold, whole harvest, semi-carbonic, carbonic and sometimes de-stemmed. Fermentation is carried out naturally thanks to indigenous yeasts ! The use of sulphur is very light when necessary. At the beginning, Loïc forbade himself the addition of sulfites. Wisdom and experience showed him that used with care and especially only at bottling, the wines kept a good stability ! The grape varieties of maison : in whites, Macabeu, Carignan Gris, Grenache gris, Grenache blanc and Carignan blanc are about sixty years old and are planted on soils of gneiss, grey schist and granitic arenas. The four plots of Black Carignan are located on the same soil types. The vines are 52 to 60 years old. 105 years old! The Grape variety Grenache noir is grown on a one hectare plot planted in 1966 on a schist soil and a second plot in Latour de France. The Syrah vines are 35 years old and are planted on a hillside of straight schist. A new 4 hectare parcel located in Caudiès-de-Fenouillèdes has been vinified for 2 years (Carignan Syrah, Grenache Noir, Macabeu). Loïc Roure also has a trading part sold under the name "En attendant la pluie" (Waiting for the rain). Vintages made from fermented organic grapes, bought or shared. |
