Colline de l'Hirondelle

On the northern slope of the Alaric mountain in the Aude, a winemaker from the village and his California-born partner have built a human-sized organic farm whose name means "hill of the swallow."

Colline de l'Hirondelle is the project of Didier Ferrier, who comes from a winemaking family in Douzens near Carcassonne, and Jennifer Buck, a Berkeley native who studied French literature. The couple made their first wines in 2008 and began selling them in 2010, having converted part of an old barn into a winery. They started with 4 hectares from Didier's father, received another 2.5 hectares as a wedding gift, and planted a further 1.5 hectares.

More on how they farm and work in the cellar in our Colline de l'Hirondelle producer profile.
