Winemaker
Jean-Philippe Padié

Jean-Philippe Padié grew up in Bourgogne and studied in Montpellier. In 2003 he founded his own estate in Calce, Roussillon. Today he has 30 small parcels of vines over 15 hectares. Padié is passionate about making small-scale, high quality wines from his exceptional terroir. He practises organic and biodynamic viticulture, making wines from extremely low yields and old vines. He uses only wild yeasts, no additives and no sulphur until bottling, in a mix of tanks, old and new barrels of different sizes; in short, very naturally.

Organic French Macabeu. Medium Body, dry. Vibrant fruit. Notes of grapefruit, stone fruit and mint

Producer

Jean-Philippe Padié works a mosaic of small parcels around the village of Calce in Roussillon, grouping his wines into 'vins de temps', 'vins de cailloux' and 'vins de fruit' according to terroir and intent. The producer site gives the blend of each wine but little else; Tindal Wine describes a 15 ha biodynamic domaine with 7 varieties across 30 parcels.
