Terroir:
This cuvée is a balance between two terroirs : • The first located in the immediate vicinity of the Château de Gaure, on the east end of the appellation, is at mid-altitude at about 300m. The soil here is of clay and limestone and enjoys a strong Mediterranean influence with a warm temperate climate and sea winds. • The second is situated at the foothills of the Pyrenees in Campagne sur Aude at the west extremity of the DPO. This terroir is also at mid-altitude with vineyards located at 300m and above with deep clay soils and colder temperatures.

About CHÂTEAU DE GAURE
Information provided directly by the winery.
Information
The castle was built as early as the 1st century, but it was in the 18th and 19th centuries that it truly came into its own with its 3,000 square meters of covered space. The history of GAURE is also the story of the men and women who created the beauty of this unique place and, today, of its great wines. Its story continues to this day through the name of the estate's flagship wine, “Le Château”.
