Since founding his domaine in 2001, Olivier Pithon has become one of the benchmark growers in the rugged hills of Calce, in France’s Roussillon region. Working organically from the start and fully biodynamic since 2010, Olivier farms roughly 19 hectares of schist, marl, and limestone soils, aided by cows, bees, and an unwavering respect for living ecosystems.
In the cellar, fermentations rely on native yeasts, sulfur use is minimal, and élevage takes place in concrete, stainless steel, or neutral wood—always with the goal of expressing the freshness, depth, and energy of Calce’s terroir. His flagship wines, including the Laïs series (named for his beloved cow) and Mon P’tit Pithon (a more playful, early-drinking line), showcase Mediterranean varieties.
