Rating: 4.8 (113 reviews)

Pierre Gaillard took over this multifaceted 29-hectare estate in 2002 and applied revolutionary methods for Banyuls of vine management, inspired by his work in Côte Rôtie. The plots close to the sea, open to the sea winds, bring a lot of freshness to the whites and rosés, those located at the bottom of the valley, which are warmer, are more conducive to the production of natural sweet wines.

Domaine Madeloc is located in Banyuls-sur-Mer, in the heart of the Côte Vermeille, within the Collioure and Banyuls appellations. Acquired in 2002 by Pierre Gaillard, an emblematic figure from the Rhône Valley, this 18-hectare estate extends over schist terraces that plunge into the Mediterranean Sea. Managed since 2009 by Élise Gaillard, an agricultural engineer, the estate combines Banyuls tradition with Rhône expertise to produce fine, delicate wines from Grenache, Mourvèdre, Syrah and Carignan for the reds, Grenache Gris, Vermentino and Roussanne for the whites.

L'histoire du domaine

The history of Domaine Madeloc is rooted in that of the Pagès family, pioneers among the independent winegrowers of the Banyuls appellation. In 2002, fascinated by the schist terraces plunging into the Mediterranean, Pierre Gaillard — a respected figure from the northern Rhône Valley, renowned for his Côte-Rôtie and Condrieu — decided to take the plunge and purchased this then-abandoned estate. Restoring the vineyard was a long-term undertaking: of the 15 hectares acquired, only 5 were in production with meagre yields of 5 hl/ha. Pierre Gaillard embarked on a complete restructuring, progressively replanting abandoned plots, diversifying grape varieties and rehabilitating the cellar located on Avenue du Général de Gaulle, in the heart of the village. The first vintage was born in 2003. In 2009, his daughter Élise, a newly qualified agricultural engineer, agreed to join the estate for what was meant to be two years of training. She never left. Fifteen years later, the estate extends over 18 hectares and has gained recognition far beyond French borders.

Le terroir

The Domaine Madeloc vineyard extends over 18 hectares spread across the communes of Banyuls-sur-Mer, Cerbère and Port-Vendres, in the unique territory of the Côte Vermeille where the last foothills of the Pyrenees plunge into the Mediterranean. The vines range from sea level to 400 metres altitude, arranged on steep terraces over quartzitic schist soils alternating with micaschists and pelites — this layered rock capable of storing marine humidity and releasing it to the vine during dry periods. The Mediterranean climate is characterised by intense summer heat, marked drought, torrential autumn rains and violent Tramontane winds. White grape vines are planted by the sea to benefit from sea spray and retain minerality and freshness; red vines occupy the heights, benefiting from day-night temperature ranges that preserve fruit character. Vines are trained in gobelet for traditional parcels and on Rhône-style stakes for others, promoting increased leaf surface and finer-quality tannins. The estate practices sustainable viticulture with organic tendencies.

Les vins

The Domaine Madeloc range comprises around a dozen cuvées that explore the full diversity of the Collioure and Banyuls appellations. In white, Tremadoc — a blend of Grenache Gris, Vermentino and Roussanne — displays floral aromas of acacia and citrus with fine minerality, while Asphodèles offers greater richness and weight. The rosé Foranell combines freshness with vinous character. In red, Serral (Grenache, Mourvèdre, Syrah) charms with its velvety texture and fruity appeal; Magenca, the flagship cuvée regularly awarded, marries aromatic intensity, palate volume and mineral elegance with 18 months of barrel ageing; Crestall expresses power and complexity. The Banyuls natural sweet wines complete the range: Cirera (early bottling), Robert Pagès (tribute to the former owner), Terre-Mer and the Solera cuvée aged for extended periods. The estate's style favours finesse, freshness and pure fruit expression, with characteristic iodine notes brought by maritime proximity.

Le vigneron

Élise Gaillard has run Domaine Madeloc since 2009, embodying with conviction and talent the encounter between two wine worlds. Trained as an agricultural engineer, she arrived in Banyuls fresh from graduation, at the request of her father Pierre Gaillard who wished to entrust her with this vineyard acquired seven years earlier. What was meant to be a two-year formative experience quickly became a vocation: captivated by the freedom of expression and trust granted to her from the outset, she fully took charge of the estate and deployed her personal vision. In love with this unique terroir of schist and Mediterranean, she perpetuates local vinification and ageing traditions while integrating Rhône techniques inherited from her father. Her approach combines technical rigour, respect for the fruit and a constant quest for balance between power and elegance. Discreet yet determined, Élise Gaillard has made Domaine Madeloc a reference acclaimed by critics — the Guide Hachette has awarded her several coups de cœur — and firmly anchored the Gaillard family in Roussillon.
