Tuesday June 10, 2003
\nIt is 10:37 am when we cross Vingrau in the direction of Tautavel.
\nThe day promises to be magnificent.
\nWe won't have any wind today,
\nthe Tramontana is at rest.<\/p>\n

Where is she ? We are looking for her
\nthis plot we want.
\nBarely bigger than a vegetable patch, yes,
\nbut covered with vines
\nin the middle of the vines.<\/p>\n

Here we are,
\nA path goes around it,
\nthe sun is facing him,
\na gentle slope invites us to descend.
\nWild is the vine,
\npromising is the cluster.
\nShe wants us
\nand we will be proud of her.
\nIt's time to go,
\nthe Cargolade is waiting for us.<\/p>\n

Now is the time to talk about winemaking techniques,
\nBut before that, what do we want to do?
\nHa yes I forgot,
\nthe greatest wine in the world!
\n"Let's be crazy" after all
\nis there really one?
\nWe're looking for\u2026
\na few names are popping up ...
\nThe same names keep coming back
\nAfter all, one more\u2026?<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Nothing will be too beautiful to imagine this wine,
\nBut it's for the moment
\na well-kept secret.
\nEverything is said it seems to me.
\nWhat ? The name ?
\nOh yes ! Our cuv\u00e9e has no name!
\nLet's resume, a magical place, a unique wine,
\nIn short, \u201cdifferent\u201d!
\nThat's it, we all agree,
\nWe will have to make a difference.
\nTo never forget it, that will be the name
\nTHE DIFFERENCE.<\/p>\n

Two years have passed,
\nwe are in 2005.
\nWe have an opportunity to acquire ten hectares on a few plots.
\nCarignan, Syrah, Grenache
\nin almost 10 times bigger.
\nAt the source of THE DIFFERENCE, the character of Roussillon.<\/p>\n

The time of the caculs has come:
\nThe passion of men + the land + the production and aging =\u2026
\nAfter all, isn't an equation the relation between two quantities of which some variables are unknown? We get lost ...
\nWine is not an exact science, it is a gift of nature, a matter of taste.
\nAnd if it was a crazy dream!
\nThe Difference is unique, so this new cuv\u00e9e will be its Racine Carr\u00e9e.
\nRacine Carr\u00e9e of the taste we will see, of the price why not, of the pleasure never!<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Our estate is ideally located between the Mediterranean Sea and the Pyrenees, in the town of Tautavel, in the heart of Roussillon.<\/p>\n

The landscape is dominated by steep cliffs, with changing reflections of gray, at the foot of which extends a breathtaking vineyard.<\/p>\n

This magnificent valley has an exceptional history because since the Stone Age, man has been present on this corner of land suitable for vines.
\nIn 1971, the discovery of human bones dating back more than 450,000 years in the Caune de L'Arago (today called "Tautavel Man"), is now considered a key to understanding the origin of the 'humanity.<\/p>\n

This border area, with a tumultuous and rich history, like its Cathar Castles or La Torre del Far, guides us day after day in the management of our domain.
\nFirmly anchored in the land and in tradition, we can then turn our eyes to the future by adopting innovative farming methods that respect the environment.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
