Domaine la Cendrillon

The Joyeux family has been documented as living in Ornaisons since the 17th century; the winery lies at the foot of the Corbières near Narbonne. The estate farms around 40 to 50 hectares and converted all its vineyards to certified organic cultivation in 2008, or in 2013 according to independent sources. In the vineyard, the soils are worked manually, cover crops are maintained and organic matter is added; the vines are pruned and harvested by hand. In the cellar, the team works parcel by parcel, with as little intervention as possible, spontaneous fermentations and ageing in concrete, oak casks and barriques.
