"Cave des Onze Communes" Wine Cooperative
Resorts: Aymavilles
Attachments
La Cave inaugurated its production with the 1990 grape harvest.
La Cave des Onze Communes has made it possible right from the start to recover territories doomed to abandonment in time and, thanks to the union of small and medium-sized enterprises, to use the best technologies to produce only high-quality wine, focusing above all on increasing the cultivated area for DOC (Controlled Designation of Origin) wines.
Its vineyards, located in eleven municipalities, cover an area of about 70 hectares, worked by the 160 wine growing members, and they make it possible for the cooperative to produce more than 500.000 bottles every year.
