Established in 1935, this cooperative brings together local winegrowers who are dedicated to producing high-quality wines that reflect the unique terroir of the area.

The winery cultivates a variety of grape varieties, including Grenache, Syrah, and Carignan for reds, as well as Viognier and Sauvignon Blanc for whites, capturing the diversity of the Languedoc's climate and soils.

Wines produced by Vignerons de Florensac are known for their vibrancy, fruit-forward character, and excellent value, making them popular choices among wine enthusiasts. With a commitment to showcasing the essence of southern French winemaking, Vignerons de Florensac continues to enhance its reputation for crafting engaging and expressive wines that reflect the charm of the Mediterranean landscape.

The Florensac terroir is one of the oldest planted vineyards near the Mediterranean coast and unusually for the South of France, this is a specialist white wine producer benefiting from the cooling breezes that moderate the heat.

Grown on high ground in vineyards that are planted on clay and limestone soils. The vines are night harvested in order to preserve aromas and freshness. Once fermented the wine is aged on fine lees with regular stirring of the lees in order to bring out richness and roundness. A bright and pale yellow wine with very fresh aromas of white flowers, acacia and hawthorn, this is a “gourmet” Picpoul.
