i. Biography
Vincent Cantié’s work at Domaine La Tour Vieille is built on continuity: the same ground, the same estate, the same town of Collioure. Trained there as an engineer agronomist in 1982, he stayed on and turned that early technical grounding into a long practice of making wine from within the property rather than from outside it. The result is a career that reads as accumulation, not reinvention. The estate’s certified Haute Valeur Environnementale status sits at the center of that approach. It points to vineyard work shaped by attention and restraint, with the land treated as something to be maintained rather than overridden. In Collioure, where site carries real weight, Vincent Cantié’s role is defined by that steady, place-bound discipline.
Coming Up

That matters in this kind of profile: the technical foundation came before the broader responsibility, and the career that followed was built on the same soils. Since 1982, his position as owner / winemaker at Domaine La Tour Vieille has given that continuity form, with each year adding depth rather than a break in direction.
