The History
The Corbières vineyards are situated in Fabrezan in the Aude region, reputed to
be the warmest region in France and where the rainfall is low. The influence of the
Mediterranean is dominant, with a slight Oceanic influence from the West. Winds
coming from both directions, bringing a welcome amount of humidity much
appreciated by the vines growing in a soil made up mainly of schist. 60 Hectares of
vineyards, situated around the village of Fabrezan which is located within the
county of Aude in the Languedoc region. The Chateau was built at the end of the
18th Century and the cellars were added in 1912. The innovative winemaking
cellars were designed by the architectural company of Gustave Eiffel. Intense and
spicy full-bodied wines that speak to us of bold Cathar strongholds, high on the
wind-carved Corbières massif, and of vinyeyards on wild hillsides, bathed in the
unblinking Meditarranean sun.
The wines are made from Carignan, Syrah and Grenache and Cinsault, endowing
the wines with an excellent aromatic balance.
