Château La Bastide RougePèyre is in the wine growing commune of the AOC Cabardès, 10km North of Carcasonne, not far from the village of Pennautier.
Cabardes was classified as an AOC in 1999.
In the most westerly of Languedoc vineyards, the Cabardès stretches across the southern foothills of the Montagne Noire. The gradually sloping vineyards provide the vines with an ideal exposure to the sun.
The vineyards enjoy a Mediterranean climate with an Atlantic influence – ideal for the cultivation of typical Méditerranean varietals – Syrah, Grenache – and native Bordeaux grapes – Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and of course. Malbec. In this terroir,
the soil is the key to the unique character of Cabardès wines.
The surface of the rich clay and limestone is covered by small white pebbles which limit the evaporation of precious water in summer whilst at the same time contributing to low yields. |

Château La Bastide RougePèyre covers an area of 52 hectares and is planted with vines which are at least 35 years old and which lend concentration and rich aromatic charactersitics to the grapes.
Owned by the de Lorgeril family since the 17th century it is only since 2006 that the current Comte and Comtesse de Lorgeril have injected new life into the estate with a programme of investment and restructuring. A vital part of this programme has been the conservation of the oldest vines in order to ensure the richness and complexity of fruit for which this estate is so well known.
Our vineyards, all located around the area have quaint names like Baysette, Combarels, Petits Fresnes Joncs, Sidobre ... They mix the scent of thyme, rosemary and lavender. The smells of the wild plants of the garrigue attach themselves to the skin of the grapes that give their flavors to the wines.

The Cabardès region is situated to the west of Languedoc and to the south of the central massif, a geologist's dream, balanced between east and west, the sun and the coolness, the heathland and the mountain. It is here that the winds cross. They bring the intense mediterranean heat necessary for southern "cépages" (grape types) such as syrah and grenache, and the cool atlantic humidity for the ocean "cépages": merlot, cabernet-sauvignon, cabernet-franc, cot and fer-servadou, to prosper. The vineyards and wines of Cabardès have been recognized as AOC since february 1999. The quality of the grapes, the wine-making, the blending of the "cépages" and the keeping of the wines has allowed us to obtain the best balance between fruit and structure, fullness and complexity, intensity and elegance. Cabardès assembles 30 châteaux and domaines over 500 productive hectares spread amongst 18 villages. 20000 hectolitres are produced each year,of which 60% are exported....

Vin de Pays d’Oc,
Vin de Pays de l’Aude |
| |
Vin de Pays means 'country wine' to the French, but to outsiders it can mean New World with a French accent. These are the wines which the French authorities unreservedly allow to be labelled with the grape variety from which they were made. It is difficult to over-estimate the importance of this large and growing category of wines for the future of the French wine trade. The French themselves may have tended to see any Vin de Pays as distinctly inferior to any appellation contrôlée wine, whereas many of their customers abroad see the better Vins de Pays as good-value, user-friendly, sometimes high-quality non-conformist emissaries from the world's most revered wine producer....

Montolieu is a small, pretty village, which prides itself as being a 'village of books and graphic arts', and is a good place to browse through old books - there are perhaps 15 bokshops in the village, as well as a museum on the subject, and the possibility to learn about bookbinding. Stop anyway, even if you aren't interested in books, just for an amble around the village, in an attractive setting on a rocky outcrop between two rivers.
