Since 1932, the Terrassous vineyards have been organised as a cooperative where each winegrower is an artisan master of his vines. Located in the south of the Pyrénées Orientales at the foot of Mont Canigou, on arid soils, "Aspres" in Catalan, on plateaus and hills between 150 and 300 metres above sea level, this very dry terroir benefits from cool nights and favourable exposure to winds, which allows a naturally limited use of phytosanitary products

On a wide variety of soils, with rounded pebbles, red clay, limestone and schist, many Mediterranean grape varieties are grown: Syrah, Grenache noir, Grenache blanc, Grenache gris, Mourvèdre, Carignan, Vermentino, Muscat d'Alexandrie and Muscat à petits grains, blended or vinified alone.

The winegrowers of Terrassous are pioneers in the reduction of treatments in the vineyard and have been committed since 2008 to an agro-environmental approach called "Ecophyto", with the aim of producing wines without any pesticide residues.
