| Hello and welcome to Tours et Terroirs Tours
et Terroirs is the result of the association between the co-operative of Gignac
and St André de Sangonis.
The co-operative of Gignac was created
in 1936 and the one of St André in 1951. They merged in 2004.
It
currently has 420 members who work together and produce about 65 000 hl of wine
per year. The 1100 ha own by the members of Tours et Terroirs give us the possibility
to produce a wide range of wine like AC Coteaux du Languedoc, Vins de Pays d'Oc,
Varietal Wines (Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Merlot, White Sauvignon and Muscat).
A board of 19 members, including the chairman Léo Viols manages
it. Today, the co-operative employs 11 people: 3 cellarmen, 1 winemaker, 1
secretary, 4 sales assistants, 1 saleswoman and the Director Walter Valgalier.
Always trying to improve our quality, we have recently invested in:
buying
of a new equipment
(cooling system, thermo-filter, Elite tanks, pneumatic press,
)
planting quality grape varieties
building a barrel-aging cellar
Tours et Terroirs is continuing
its quality-improving efforts and hopes you appreciate the result. If you have
ever visited our co-operative in your travels, we hope that the subtle aromas
of our wines will make you come back again. Thank you for
your visit |
