The Master Oenologist,

Marie Julian

Marie Julian-Izard is the master oenologist, has looked after the selection of the grapes, and the winemaking of Mythique, since 2005.
Marie graduated in oenology in 2001, and has had more than 20 years of experience now in the wine industry.

“I am lucky to be born in Languedoc, in the heart of a beautiful winemaking region.

I am convinced of its incomparable potential. The vineyards are spread across the land, to the hills and to the Mediterranean sea. My region is rich in history, culture and of a great conviviality.”
Marie Julian, œnologue

Biodiversity

The Mythique Owl

To symbolise the hard work in the vineyards which are located in unspoilt countryside, the winemakers behind Mythique have chosen the owl as a symbol of healthy ecosystems and the environment.
Because the owl is very sensitive to agricultural practices, habitat loss and environmental quality, it will play an important role in the preservation of Languedoc ecosystems.

“Throughout the seasons, I observe the mythical terroirs of the Languedoc. With my sharp eyes and my discerning gaze, nothing escapes me. I protect the delicious grapes of these great terroirs and am the guardian of the patient work of the winegrowers.”

The Mythique Owl is the guardian of the vines and winemakers of Mythique wines.

Discovering the project

Terra 360

Taking care of the wine growers, respecting nature and the land that sustains them, is our responsibility.
This is why we have created “Terra360”.
This virtuous circle in which we are committed with our partners is a tremendous source of innovation, environmental efficiency and value creation.

Discovering the project

Mythique Project x Aude Nature

Last September, we started a pilot project with the association Aude Nature to improve the protection of biodiversity in our vineyards. Aude Nature is accompanying us in this project by carrying out counts, taking samples and making observations in previously determined areas. Then, Aude Nature will present us with recommendations for conserving, restoring and developing the biodiversity of species and habitats on the studied area.

August 2022: determination of the study area, in the vineyards of Peyremale (34) and Paguignan (11)

December 2022: determination of the listening points in the different geographical sectors selected.

April to June 2023: analysis with sampling, counting, soil, fauna and flora observations.

September 2023: recommendations and proposal for an action plan to favour the fauna, flora and habitats.

The aim of the Aude Nature association is to gain a better understanding of the biodiversity of the Aude region, to educate the general public about the importance of preserving it and to set up actions for the conservation and restoration of habitats and species.

The HVE3 label

High Environmental Value

The HVE label is an official recognition of the environmental performance of winegrowers. This label indicates that the vineyard limits inputs as much as possible, ensures soil fertility, a protective fauna for the crops, plant cover favouring soil life, and permanent grasslands. It indicates efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to preserve water resources.
