With a solid organization bringing together numerous winegrowers, it has established itself today as the most awarded cellar in Corbières with 75 distinctions obtained in 2025, testifying to the recognized quality of its wines. Its know-how is expressed in particular through prestigious appellations such as AOP Corbières and Corbières Boutenac, while being part of a sustainable approach with HVE3 certification and the development of an organic range. Combining tradition, innovation and qualitative standards, Les Celliers d’Orfée thus embody an essential reference in the Languedoc wine region. Merlot: Pre-fermentation maceration to extract the fruit and color, alcoholic fermentation at controlled temperature. Aging in vats to preserve the aromatic expression of the grape variety and the freshness of the fruit.
