1999 marked the first vintage of Les Prés Lasses, a wine estate born from the shared passion of two friends. They began by acquiring a few parcels of old vines in the Faugères appellation and set up their cellar in the village of Autignac. Denis Feigel, following a career in both winemaking and wine distribution, fulfilled a long-held dream by creating his own wine estate. Since 2005, his son Boris has taken on the technical management of the domaine.

Today, Les Prés Lasses spans over 36 hectares, with 30 hectares in active production. Much of it made up of old vines, including 7 hectares of Carignan. The vineyard is farmed organically, with a strong focus on soil vitality and overall vineyard balance, ensuring both sustainability and the true expression of the wines’ character. The Faugères vineyard stretches across the rugged hillsides at the southern edge of the Cévennes, just north of Béziers. A dramatic, schist-rich landscape that shapes the identity of its wines.

Faugères is a small appellation rooted in a distinctive schist terroir. The soils are highly draining and low in fertility, which encourages the vines to drive their roots deep in search of the essential elements that contribute to the making of great wines.

Our harvest is carried out entirely by hand, with careful sorting of the grapes. Winemaking is traditional and low-intervention. Aside from minimal sulfur additions (sometimes none at all), we use no oenological additives. The wines are generally bottled without fining or filtration. Ageing takes place over 18 to 36 months, in raw concrete vats and oak barrels, with only a small proportion of new wood. Our aim is to produce gastronomic wines, built to age, expressive of both terroir and vintage, and marked by finesse and complexity.
