DOMAINE PARPALHOL

Information

Description

Domaine Parpalhol (meaning butterfly in Occitan language) is before anything a story of 2 friends focused on a common passion for authentic wines and symbols of Languedoc treasures.
First, there is Julien. Following a winemaking scholarship in Montpellier, he takes over the family estate in 2006. He follows his father’s footstep, a local man who used to sell to the village cooperative. Julien learned with Jean Michel Alquier but also at Domaine Trevallon, a star from Provence.
Serge comes from the restaurant business. After 20 years abroad, his passion for wine comes true through several studies such as Wine University in Suze la Rousse in France, the famous Swiss Changins wine school and at last the WSET in 2015.Our Estate covers near 30 hectares, surrounding Béziers and Corneilhan. An exceptional landscape already planted by Romans centuries ago.
On the cool hills above the Orb valley, a nice morning breeze dries the dew drops on the pebbles. On the sandy Languedoc soil, some foot prints left from last night harvest, in order to pick up cool fruits, are now replaced by the dawn peacefulness The first sun rays covers the vineyard and turn a vine leaf into a precious and shiny mirror. Then, a delicate and colourful figure lands gracefully on that leaf and flies off again, free and innocent, between shade and sunshine. Parpalhòl, butterfly in Occitan language, in his natural habitat, reminds us all that truth and blossoming lies in the nature and its fragility. It also symbolises our story. 2 friends born with the same passion for wine that decided to craft excellence in their cuvées born in the wild and natural Languedoc terroir.
