The Domain was created in 1982, resulting from the union of two established wine producing families with Vincent Cantié already at Collioure and Christine Campadieu joining him from Banyuls-sur-Mer. Their two Catalan families have been linked to wines for many générations. The chai is in the heart of their vineyard in the locality of “la Tourette” (the little tower) over-looking Collioure. This domain’s dozen hectares of vineyards is meticulously farmed by hand. The low dry schistous stone-walls and steep slopes prevent any form of mechanisation. Tour Vieille produces unique and finely balanced wines of the South, tending towards a depth of fruit that retains its freshness rather than an expression of overwhelming richness.
