Château d'Oupia
In 1969, André ICHE took charge of the estate and began renovating the vineyard, incorporating new grape varieties well suited to the terroir, while retaining the oldest Carignan vines. André planted his first Syrahs in 1975, opened a sales cellar in 1980, and in 1985 began his first barrel-ageing with the launch of the Les Barons cuvée. This was the start of a string of awards, with other cuvées confirming his reputation: Nobilis, Oppius, Emérantine. Part of the Château d'Oupia vineyard is located in La Caunette, and the vinification takes place in Oupia.
After completing her studies in 1996, Marie-Pierre Iche decided to stay on the estate, which today covers 63 ha, divided between AOC Minervois (37 ha) and Vin de Pays de l'Hérault (26 ha).

Château d'Oupia - Minervois Les Barons 2017
3/5 (5 reviews)
1*Étoile Hachette
A fine representative of Minervois with a deep garnet color, very expressive and intense on the nose, distilling ripe fruit aromas with a pleasant woody touch. Round and powerful on the palate, with a velvety structure and great elegance. A perfect match for jugged hare!
Château d'Oupia - Nobilis 2016
4.4/5 (5 reviews)
2*Étoiles Hachette
" An enchanting red combining Syrah, Carignan and Grenache, macerated for a very long time in the cellar. The nose, slow to open up, first bears the imprint of the barrel with its roasted and smoky notes, then lets black fruit, garrigue and undergrowth scents blossom. The palate is imposing in its fullness and concentration, perfectly framed by powerful yet remarkably extracted tannins. A long finish of black fruits and spices speaks volumes about the potential of this fine red". (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2020) Great ageing potential!
Château d'Oupia - Oppius 2016
4/5 (1 review)
Oppius is the estate's grand cuvée, predominantly Syrah. Savory and racy, it opens with an intense, fragrant nose of black fruits and chocolate. The palate is powerful and concentrated, with hints of leather. The tannins are full-bodied but silky to the touch. Mentholated freshness harmoniously revives the whole. A racy Minervois!
Château d'Oupia 2016
3/5 (4 reviews)
In a beautiful deep garnet color, this blend of Syrah Carignan Grenache from hillside vineyards expresses aromas of jammy red fruit. Supple and concentrated on the palate, it is supported by high-quality but very rounded tannins. A salivating cuvée, a guaranteed pleasure!
Château d'Oupia rosé 2017

89-91/100 Vinous
Slightly salmon-colored, Château d'Oupia's rosé offers a delicious balance of fresh red fruit and minerality. It's the perfect companion for your summer dinner parties!
