Localization
The cultivation of the vine introduced by the Greeks in 200 BC and developed by the Romans has been continuously presented in the controlled appellation of Corbieres and that of Boutenac.
The Chateau, not far from Thézan-des-Corbières, is nestled among the vines, wrapped by two hills- one side of which belongs to the massif of Corbières and the other side Mount Sainte-Victoire.
There, they can admire the scrubland, the blue sky, protruding rocks, and a magnificent wilderness.
Lavender, thyme, and rosemary spread sweet scents and subtly delights the senses.
In the park, near the Lady Chapel, is a spring of water to complete this oasis of peace.
The climate
Here, the climate is clearly Mediterranean, with the big blue imposing majestically on the road here and in the distance.
The sea, as well, provides a natural moisture. The amount of sunshine is generous and optimal for the maturity of grapes.
The north wind, an exhilarating wind that significantly reduces fungal diseases of the vine, is the second component characterizing the climate of this area.
This reduces the necessary processing for the protection of the vine.
