Domaine La Tour Vieille is a family-owned estate in the Collioure-Banyuls area of Languedoc-Roussillon, founded in the early 1980s by Vincent Cantié and Christine Campadieu. Its vines grow on schist terraces and are hand-pruned and hand-harvested. The domaine follows a low-intervention “Lutte raisonnée” approach, limiting pesticide use, though it holds no organic or biodynamic certification. Ownership remains within the founding families, with Vincent Cantié and Christine Campadieu operating the estate; Renato Fabrici, a previous head, also contributed to its winemaking. The wines reflect a hands-on, family-run tradition rooted in the steep schist landscapes of Collioure and Banyuls.
