La Cave Aux Fioles

La Cave aux Fioles is Carlos Badia's wine project in Roussillon, based near Espira-de-l'Agly in the Catalan Corbières north of Perpignan. Carlos came to production after around thirty years in the wine world, with experience spanning sommelier positions, marketing and international trade. 

By 2016 Carlos was experimenting on a small scale, making a few barrels from carefully chosen grapes. He formally created La Cave aux Fioles three years later with five hectares. The domaine has since grown to around ten hectares, including many old vines on clay and limestone soils.

Carlos works with a broad collection of Mediterranean grapes: Grenache Blanc, Grenache Gris, Grenache Noir, Macabeu, Muscat, Carignan, Lledoner Pelut, Cinsault, Syrah, Mourvèdre and Malvoisie all appear.
