In 1970, the parents of Bernard Ancely founded the domain. Located at the foot of the "Montagne Noire" Ancely enjoys the gifted terroir of dry, rocky soils with a high chalk content. The vineyards are perfect South, South West oriented. As a child, Bernard already found it a privilege to work in the vineyards. Not helping was a punishment ... just a little different than other children at that age. Bernard knows every vine on his vineyard and knows what they need. After he took over the winery of his parents he recovered an old and neglected parcel and restored it. He made it the jewel of the estate and called it "Les Oubliées", the forgotten vines, which produces a wine for which each wine lover will be respectful. But actually, this applies to all his wines: excellent result of hard work combined with know-how and a reflection of the wild nature that characterizes this beautiful region!

The terroir exists of argilo-calcareous soils.
