Alain Cavaillès

3.6/5See all 10 reviews

Based in the Upper Aude Valley, in the town of Magrie, Alain Cavaillès began his journey in 1999, when he was still a novice in the field. A passionate winemaker by nature, he seeks above all an overall coherence in everything he undertakes, and this applies equally to both vineyard management and winemaking. Managing the vineyard using organic and biodynamic methods was therefore a natural choice, guided by Alain Cavaillès’s guiding principle: respect for all living things.

In the heart ofthe Limoux appellation, on the Autan terroir, the clay-limestone soils and diverse climatic influences—Mediterranean, oceanic, and Pyrenean—bring balance and distinct character to the wines of the Moulin de l’Alon estate.

In this famous Limoux appellation, where sparkling whites— Blanquette de Limoux, Crémant de Limoux, and white Limoux —reign supreme, Alain Cavaillès also produces excellent red wines under the Haute Vallée de l’Aude IGP. In total, the Le Moulin de l'Alon estate spans 8.5 hectares organized into 17 plots, planted with 7 grape varieties: Mauzac, Chardonnay, Chenin, Pinot, Merlot, Syrah, and Cabernet Sauvignon.
