Story
Foulards Rouges
Roussillon · Occitanie · France
Jean-François Nicq, after achieving notable success at the Estézargues winery in the Gard, sought a place to establish his own vineyard. His quest led him to the Pyrénées-Orientales, specifically Montesquieu les Albères, nestled against the Pyrenees. In 2002, Domaine Les Foulards Rouges was born. From the very first harvest, Jean-François implemented organic practices and limited yields to ensure the highest quality.
“In the winery, he embraced a natural approach to vinification, focusing on creating approachable, enjoyable wines rather than showy, competition-driven ones.”
Jean-François's wines stand out for their refreshing, almost "thirst-quenching" qualities, a notable achievement in a region known for its robust, warm wines. His cuvées have consistently delivered elegance, drinkability, and a compelling narrative. As a generous and innovative winemaker, Jean-François has influenced many in the region.
