Founded in 1890 by Joseph the grandfather and passed down the generations to René Salasar today, this family business makes Blanquette and Crémant de Limoux whose reputation has spread far and wide. 30 growers carefully tend the vines from which three traditional grape varieties: Mauzac, Chardonnay and Chenin are picked by hand. In 1981 René Salasar received the Agricultural Award of Merit from the Minister of Agriculture, Madame Edith Cresson, for the Domaine Beausoleil with its 64 000 vines in one single block situated next to the Salasar premises.
