The Mamert Family and Winegrowing\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Mamert Family <\/strong>came to live in the Montpellier region and in Capestang at the start of the last century. Pierre Mamert, who was originally from Averyron, became interested in winegrowing and purchased a few 100 square metres<\/strong> of vines near Montpellier.  From these, his son Paul began producing the first family wine<\/strong>. In the late 1970s, Montpellier developed rapidly and its new road system put an end to this first family vineyard<\/strong>. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Beginnings of the Estate\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Paul\u2019s son, Jean Mamert, wished to continue the tradition of winegrowing, and in 1977<\/strong>, he came across Domaine de Soustres<\/strong>, along the Canal du Midi. The estate was no longer producing wine, and he and some friends decided to buy<\/strong> it. Each owning a share of the estate, they undertook to begin restoring<\/strong> the winery<\/a> and part of the vineyard. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Modernisation of the Estate\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In the early 2010s, Jean\u2019s son, Jean-Paul<\/strong>, who had fallen in love with the historic<\/strong> estate, decided to buy the shares of all the co-owners and take over the business<\/strong>. Committed to preserving the vineyard\u2019s integrity, he began renewing the vines, some of which dated from the 1960s.<\/strong> Assisted by estate manager Franck Palisser, he introduced more sustainable<\/strong> winegrowing practices and made the protection of biodiversity<\/a><\/strong> a priority at the estate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to this, the family\u2019s tradition<\/a> of winegrowing and wine production continues into its fourth generation.<\/strong> <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
