Domaine Peyre Rose — A Secret Southern Gem, Between Patience and Intensity

Saint-Pargoire • Languedoc • Organic farming • 26 ha • Limited production

A singular vision by Marlène Soria

Founded in the early 1990s by Marlène Soria, a former real estate agent turned self-taught winemaker, Domaine Peyre Rose stands apart in the Languedoc landscape. Set between wild garrigue and old stone buildings, it has earned a worldwide reputation thanks to a unique philosophy: time, precision, and uncompromising standards. Wines are released only after long ageing in the cellar — often 10 years or more — resulting in depth and complexity rarely found in the region.

Vineyards & philosophy

  • Approximately 26 hectares farmed organically since the estate’s founding.
  • Vines planted on hillsides over 300 meters in altitude, with abundant sunshine tempered by wind and elevation.
  • Meticulous vineyard work: natural treatments, manual harvest, very low yields.
  • Long fermentations and extended ageing in vats or large foudres, sometimes up to 15 years before release.

Wine style

Peyre Rose wines are deep, concentrated, and can be austere in their youth. With age, they reveal a captivating aromatic power: ripe black fruits, wild herbs, leather, and spice, balanced by remarkable freshness. These are long-ageing wines that unfold gracefully over time, gaining layers of complexity.
