City of Carcassonne
An essential pilgrimage site in the Languedoc-Roussillon region, the City of Carcassonne is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The vineyards stretch mainly along the hillsides, within a 20 km radius of the city, covering some 3,000 hectares of vines in some twenty communes. 

Between the Mediterranean and the Atlantic Cité de Carcassonne vineyard benefits from a dual climatic influence, with two alternating winds: a warm, humid Mediterranean breeze tempered by the Cers, a dry, temperate Atlantic wind. This harmony produces wines that are fresh, fruity, elegant and typical of the terroir.

Les vins de la Cité de Carcassonne sont élaborés à partir de cépages à la fois méditerranéens (Grenache, Syrah, Carignan...) et atlantiques (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot...).

"Small price, big delight!"

Here's a Sauvignon that will make everyone agree! With a flattering nose of citrus and verbena, followed by a delicately lemony palate and a very reasonable price! It's a perfect match for a seafood platter. In summer, it's a perfect match for aperitifs and barbecues.

"Superb value for money for this harmonious wine".

"A hint of evolution in the color and aromas of this Merlot-dominated blend. The nose reveals a lovely complexity of cooked fruit, sweet spices and undergrowth. Soft tannins, a pleasant roundness and a very spicy finish add to the charm of this wine, which should be drunk on its fruit." (Le Guide Hachette 2024).

« Arômes de fruits noirs, violette, épices, bouche chaleureuse, avec une trame savoureuse, un joli grain de tannin, un fruit presque à surmaturité et une finale nerveuse. Une belle cuvée authentique. » (Le Guide Bettane & Desseauve des Vins de France) Sélection parcellaire de Carignan et Syrah vieilles vignes réunis pour une cuvée racée et de caractère.

"Carignan aficionados

This very old Carignan, over 70 years old, is perfectly balanced between power and softness. A lovely cuvée de terroir, delicious and full of fruit, blueberry and blackcurrant, with great depth and silky tannins. A fine achievement, to share with friends!

Ce très vieux Carignan, de plus de 70 ans, s'empourpre à la vue de sa robe. Au nez, des notes fraîches de cerise et de cassis dévoilent la gourmandise et le croquant que l'on retrouve en bouche. L'équilibre entre la puissance et la douceur est parfait. Une jolie cuvée de terroir !
