This cave cooperative founded in 1935 with a handful of wine growers replaced the old railway station that served the Corbieres. As time goes on and under a succession of different management teams the cave continues to prosper and produce wines of quality.

The AOC Corbieres classification in 1986 was the ultimate reward for their efforts.

In 1997, the cooperative of St Andre de Roquelongue, a neighbouring village, combined forces and it became known as the Cellars of l’Aussou named after a watercourse running between the two communities.

Today, the 302 people involved produce about 55,000 hectolitres of wine.
