As early as 1831, Albert Bichot, a visionary and an explorer, traveled the world to introduce his great Burgundies to wine lovers. To perpetuate this pioneering spirit, they set out in search of new horizons. This quest led them to Limoux in the South of France, a region that they chose for its unique diversity: 4 Terroirs with different yet complementary Climates.

Oceanic Terroir : ELEGANCE – Alternating wet and dry periods, giving Vivacity and salinity

Mediterranean Terroir : POWER – Hot climate with high levels of humidity providing Richness and intensity

Autan Terroir : GENEROSITY – Hot continental climate growing Fullness and opulence on the palate

Upper Valley Terroir : SUBTILITY – The coolest and latest-ripening terroir with low yields enables Harmony, concentration, roundness and acidity

As renowned winemakers and experts in Burgundy for six generations, we have put all of our Know-How into taking the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes from the Limoux region in Southern France to new heights.

These two wines are vinified with passion at the Horizon winery, located in Gardie, not far from Carcassonne. Above and beyond the Harmony we were seeking in these wines, the innovative alliance of these four terroirs holds the promise of infinite Freedom of expression and an always Pleasurable tasting experience.
