Château Las Collas

Pierre Puig began the family’s winegrowing story in 1934 with the purchase of Mas St-Luc at Passa, on the Roussillon plain. Puig acquired Las Collas in 1950, and production later moved north to the Thuir property under his grandson Jacques Bailbé in 1979.

For decades the family reserved selected Rivesaltes vintages in old concrete tanks, allowing successive generations to decide when they were ready to leave the cellar. Current vineyards lie in the Aspres around Thuir, with old Grenache rooted in clay-limestone ground below the Pyrenees.
