Olivier Pascale comes from generations of winemakers. He and his hard-working wife, Fabienne, tend the vineyards together and then work their magic in the cave where they make their small batch wines. They make their wine in a modest 50 meter square garage, a few vats inside, a small barrel cellar in the dwelling… truly a tiny domaine. In addition to the traditional Languedoc grape varieties: Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre and Carignan, in 2009 Olivier planted Counoise, Nielluccio, Sangiovese and Greek Assyrtiko grapes to bring a more Mediterranean influence into his impressive range of wines. We imagine he lies awake at night thinking of the creative "out of the box" names he has given his special wines. “Gabrielle's terrases” is the name of the estate in homage to the winemaker's grandmother's first name and that of their daughter.
