Domaine Alain Chabanon

Domaine Alain Chabanon is one of the most original and widely recognised names in the Languedoc. Established since 1992 around Montpeyroux and Jonquières, at the heart of the Terrasses du Larzac, Alain Chabanon has built over thirty years an eighteen-hectare vineyard spread across five communes — a diversity of terroirs that feeds the richness and complexity of his wines.

The son of teachers, nothing predestined him to the vine. It was through contact with Bordeaux châteaux and then alongside winemaker Alain Brumont in Madiran that he forged his vision: wines of finesse and elegance, built for long ageing, that need not envy the great crus of other regions. Since his first vintage released in 1992, this exacting standard has never wavered. The estate has been certified in organic farming since 2002 and in Demeter biodynamics since 2011, one of the rare certifications of this level in the appellation.

What sets Domaine Alain Chabanon apart from its peers is a rare combination: very long ageing — up to thirty-six months — which gives the wines exceptional depth and complexity, and a Merlot planted on a unique terroir of rounded pebbles that produces one of the most singular cuvées in the Languedoc. The vintages 2014, 2016, 2019, 2020 rank among the finest expressions of the estate.
