Terres de l'AmandYere
& Domaine Aïchoux
In the heart of the Corbières countryside, Stéphane Serre began making wine at the age of 35. With conviction, a clear philosophy, and wines that truly reflect his approach, he quickly became a distinctive figure in the region—passionate and authentic in the noblest sense.
​
Stéphane is a deeply rooted Corbières winemaker, emotionally connected to his native land and family history, yet always looking forward. His family’s presence in the region dates back to 1613, when an ancestor lived and worked the land.
​
His estate, L’Amandyère, is built on 2.5 hectares of scattered plots. Since starting the domaine in 2007 and producing his first vintage in 2009, Stéphane has committed to strict practices: during harvest, 50% of the grapes are left on the vine if they don’t meet his standards, and another 20% are discarded during sorting.
A strong believer in rationalised agriculture, he also follows the lunar calendar for all major vineyard and cellar work.

Its neighbor, the Carignan, thrives just 30 meters higher at 250 meters, lending structure and depth to this artful blend. 48 months ageing in 400l barrel followed by 12 month in a settling tank.
