The Vineyard,

Chateau CapenduChateau Capendu VineyardThe vineyard, located a few miles away from Carcassonne, spreads out over 87 hectares at the foothills of the Alaric Mountain. It consists of 27 hectares AOC wine and 60 hectares of Vin de Pays d’Oc.

The annual production is about 4,000 hectolitres meaning approx. 550.000 bottles.

We manage our vineyard  using traditional methods respecting nature and  picking by hand.

CORBIERES

Chateau Capendu VineyardChateau CapenduOn argyle-chalky soils, at the foothills of the Alaric mountain, the production remains under strict control in order to reach a maximum yield of 50  hectolitres per hectare for the AOC Corbieres. The Mediterranean grape varieties Carignan, Grenache and Syrah are perfectly adapted to our soil and to the exacting climate conditions of the south of France. Some parts of our vineyards are over 50 years of age and up to 100 years for the oldest. They demand a lot of attention during the year before we harvest in September and October the best this marvelous vineyard has to offer.

VINS DE PAYS D’OC

Our plots of Vin de Pays are located in the plain of Capendu. They produce fruity and well-balanced wines. Our red wines are made from the Bordeaux varietals Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Our white wine presents the originality that it is produced from Bordeaux’s Sauvignon grape and from Burgundy’s Chardonnay grape. Our fresh rose wine is made from Grenache gris and Syrah, both local varietals.
