Chateau la Boutignane Corbiere

The History

The influence of the Mediterranean is dominant, with a slight Oceanic influence from the West. Winds coming from both directions, bringing a welcome amount of humidity much appreciated by the vines growing in a soil made up mainly of schist. 60 Hectares of vineyards, situated around the village of Fabrezan which is located within the county of Aude in the Languedoc region. The Chateau was built at the end of the 18th Century and the cellars were added in 1912. The innovative winemaking cellars were designed by the architectural company of Gustave Eiffel.
