Visit & Tasting
Winery
At Domaine de la Vieille, nestled in the stunning Pic Saint-Loup region, our family has been nurturing vines for generations. The legacy of winemaking has been passed down from father to son, each adding their unique touch to our beloved vineyard.
In 2002, Guy RATIER took the reins after his parents retired, establishing a new cellar that marked a new chapter for our wines. That year, we introduced the Pic Saint-Loup and Le Sang du Visigoth cuvées, both crafted from a harmonious blend of 50% Syrah and 50% Grenache, with the latter aged for 12 months in barrels.
Our vineyard is not just about wine; it holds history too. A parcel of Syrah is home to an ancient Visigoth cemetery, a fascinating discovery made by Roger and René RATIER, documented by Doctor Jean ARNAL.
We take pride in producing authentic wines under the AOC Coteaux du Languedoc and Pic Saint-Loup labels. In 2014, we completed our transition to organic farming, focusing on natural treatments derived from plant decoctions, flowers, and essential oils to minimize the use of copper and sulfur.
Our natural remedies include horsetail, nettle, and dandelion, while we use yarrow and chamomile for flowers. Lavender and sweet orange essential oils are applied in homeopathic doses, ensuring a gentle approach to vineyard care.
This commitment to organic practices extends through all stages of winemaking, from vine to bottle. We honor the traditional methods of our ancestors, blending time-tested techniques with modern sustainability.
Join us for a tasting of our finest wines, where you can appreciate the passion and dedication that goes into every bottle.

Write a reviewWonderful experience in a beautiful vineyard in the south of France, in the Pic Saint-Loup area! Smiling and welcoming Guilhem and Julien led us on a very informative visit that ended with a tasting of excellent organic wine! The wine seemed even better to us knowing that it was the result of the hard work of a united and large family. We will definitely come back and recommend this visit to everyone! For the more active, a trip to Pic Saint-Loup can be combined with a visit to the vineyard and wine cellar, which are not far away. Thanks again to Guilhem and Julien for their hospitality and for sharing part of their story with us. Merci! Here's to you!

A warm welcome! We had an exceptional time in the company of the lady who introduced us to the area. His fascinating stories about the history of the estate and each wine were captivating. And of course, the icing on the cake (or cork on the bottle), their wines are simply delicious! A family business that shares its know-how with passion!

An unforgettable encounter because it is priceless. It is the person who introduced herself as "the old woman", not comparable to the person. An unplanned visit, on a Sunday. An extraordinary visit and tasting. Filling and conviviality at the top. A real moment of pleasure. Beyond the quality wine, come and enjoy this visit that will undoubtedly leave its mark on you.

Very nice visit, we arrived at 3:30 p.m. without warning, we were very well received, great tasting with lots of anecdotes and explanations, passionate winegrowers from father/mother to son/daughter, really a great discovery, prices more than adequate given the competition around, we will come back with great pleasure! Good luck to you. PS: taste their French wine vintages, it’s definitely worth the detour, especially their rosé full of character!
