Growing Conditions
Vin de Pays de l'Aude is a local PGI and one of the Vins de Pays d'Oc. This is a region that sees sharp climate variations between the ocean, the mountains and the sea, producing a wide variety of wines. It also boasts such historic sites as the City of Carcassonne, the Minervois region and the Corbières mountains with ancient rocks that give the wines a characteristic mineral character.
Gravels on clay, Clay and limestone plateaux.
Winemaking
Vinification takes place in temperature-controlled vats. After a short, prefermentation, maceration, the fermentation takes place a very quickly (over 4 or 5 days), and the wines are then immediately run off. This technique enables the richness and generosity of the Cabernet grapes to be fully expressed.
Appearance

Food Pairing
