Olivier Calix is the third generation - his father Claude bought the first vineyard in 1966, and the estate started bottling under its own label in 2000. Olivier spent eight years in Barcelona and Bilbao studying art history before coming home in 2003, and runs the place now with his mother Rosy. Their vineyards experience an unusually large amount of sunshine -  over 3,000 hours a year, and very little rainfall (under 600mm annually.) The strong winds bring sea salt carried in off the Gulf of Lion which give the wines a subtle, saline, savoury edge. Producing wine here is a single-minded pursuit of the good and the beautiful.
