Les Filles de Mai is a macabeu vinified in two- to four-wine barrels. The nose expresses woody and floral notes. The palate, in unison with the bouquet, appears rounded, slightly marked by aging, and offers a beautiful saline finish.

La Coume Del Mas is located in the hamlet of Cosprons between Port Vendres and Banyuls. It is managed by Philippe Gard, an agricultural engineer who first worked at the Auxerre Chamber of Agriculture, then at the Bordeaux Chamber of Agriculture. The estate now covers 14 hectares spread over 32 plots scattered across the communes of Banyuls and Collioure. This vineyard, due to its terrain, subsoil, and geographical location, is one of the last remaining examples of this heroic mountain viticulture. While some of the plots reach an altitude of nearly 380 meters, others plunge into the Mediterranean. But all, without exception, exhibit sometimes dizzying drops, making mechanization impossible and human intervention crucial.

Beyond the strict application of a viticultural and oenological process, the choice to produce a particular wine necessarily involves taking risks, where expertise, knowledge and observation of the intimate relationships between the vine and its environment are essential. From this encounter is born a precious wine, the result of the fusion between man and his environment. Each cuvée is a little the fruit of this journey, where through the vintages, Coume Del Mas attempts to discover a few ephemeral pieces of truth. Each bottle is the reflection of this adventure, of the work of all those who accompany them, guided by respect for the terroir and the search for sustainable agriculture that respects their values. Each wine comes from a selection of unique plots. Some cuvées are produced in small quantities and their availability may vary throughout the year.
