Ribaute, a little piece of Paradise...
Gorges du Ribaute, a gorgeous swimming spot of limpid blue-green water teaming with fish and dragonflies, below reefs of rock pummelled by centuries of water.
For those not tempted to bathe, watching the wildlife is equally enjoyable.
The river Orbieu tumbles from the geological chaos of the central Corbieres, gradually warming up as it runs over sun-baked rocks, until it winds through the vine-covered hills of Lagrasse and Ribaute... |

After passing the gate of the little village of Ribaute you will reach the edge of the Orbieu. It leads to the river and the bridge. Here begins the little paradise...
The view is beautiful. In substance, the mountain of Alaric. Just like that, incidentally,
it is best to park in the village rather than to transform the area around the Orbieu in parking.
This ogival portal dates from 1575.
The Orbieu who waters among other villages such as Lagrasse, Ribaute and Fabrezan is offered here a little fantasy...

The Corbières is one of the wildest areas of France with one of the lowest population densities. It is picturesque with wine growing areas alternating with garigue and mountainous countryside. It is located mainly in the Aude département and partly in the Pyrénées-Orientales département. The River Aude borders the Corbières to the west and north. To the south is the River Agly and to the east the the Mediterranean Sea. The name Corbières comes from "cor" a pre-Celtic word meaning "rock" and "berre" from the River Berre which runs through Durban. The eastern part of the Corbières with its Etangs, borders the the Mediterranean Sea and is called the Corbières maritimes. It has its own distinctive climate and characteristic vegetation known as thermomediterranean vegetation...

 At the heart of the Corbières, the largest area and most eclectic of Languedoc, Lalis is located close to Lagrasse in the northwest quarter of the appellation. Backed Alaric Mountain wedged between Pyrenees and Massif Central ...
The field Lalis is wild, windswept and weathered by the summer heat. The vine, one of the only plants grown bold enough to face these elements, here gives a fresh fruit and a crisp amazing, almost paradoxical.
Vignerons father to son since 1902, the Estrade family has retained and enhance this beautiful area until today. Vincent, Jean-Louis, Jean, Marie-Rose, and now Jacques Philippe led the vineyard turns.
Our vines thrive on mainly four types of soil: The sandy loam soils for rosés, the Marnes for whites, sandstone molasses give fine wines or feminine and the clay-limestone produce our wines heads...
