Domaine Matha Wine tourism and exceptional wines in Aveyron

Domaine Matha, an immersion in the heart of the AOC Marcillac in Aveyron

Love is one thing, passion is another. Working on his estate with a benevolent outlook, Jean-Luc Matha combines the two with an inexhaustible energy that encourages him to always give the best of himself to reveal the unique flavors of an exceptional terroir. For 3 decades, this winemaker has been telling a story through "a man's wine who rolls his Rs", the culture and origin of a wine from the red earth of the Marcillac valley.

Domaine Matha, the story of a sublime heritage

It is between Conques and Rodez, in Bruéjouls that the story of a man and his wine begins. Deeply attached to his terroir, Jean-Luc Matha (supported by those he likes to call "the elders" but also and above all by his wife), digs his hands into the earth to give birth to an extraordinary vineyard : Domaine Matha. More than a profession, working the land and the vines is a true passion that Jean-Luc transmits daily to connoisseurs as well as to the curious who discover the expression of a unique grape variety, Fer Servadou also known as Mansois.

Jean-Luc Matha was one of the first to promote Fer Servadou, and a major player in the creation of the AOC Marcillac

Domaine Matha, an exceptional Marcillac AOC labeled organic

The properties of the red soil of Aveyron and its dry climate allow the fruity and herbaceous aromas of the Mansois to be revealed, essential criteria complemented by the manual management of the vineyard. Arranged on terraces, the vines evolve under the attentive eye of Jean-Luc Matha who takes the time to "stop, understand and live in the present moment" so that each vintage reflects the richness of the terroir. Time is another important variable to allow the wine to express its perfumes under the action of indigenous yeasts which give a vintage effect to this living wine certified organic since 2016. Take a break to admire the natural spectacle of the overlapping vines, a true colorful theater that transforms over the seasons.

Each year and each bottle is unique with natural aromas obtained without sulfites, honest wines that have nothing to hide.
