Launched into the spotlight by Gérard Gauby—the Roussillon’s star winemaker—Le Soula has become a reference for biodynamic wines of exceptional depth and character. British wine importer-turned-producer Mark Walford took over this stunning pocket of the Fenouillèdes, cultivating old vines across high-altitude terroirs.

Awarded 2 stars by La Revue du Vin de France (France’s leading wine magazine), the estate consistently exceeds expectations. These are distinctive, expressive wines marked by freshness and energy—two qualities that have always defined Le Soula’s signature style. A remarkably high standard, guided by the steady hand and supportive eye of Gérard Gauby himself.
