Producer Description
A range of superb wines offering great value. The Château, at the very northern tip of the Corbières just to the south of the Minervois, nestled in a green setting surrounded by maritime essences, this impressive chateau which had already been mentioned in topographical layouts of 1770 and refurbished several times, offers a unique character.
SCEA Château la Bastide has 180 Ha with 60 Ha in the “Appellation d’Origine Protégée Corbières” and “Indication Géographique Protégée Aude Hauterive” area. The soil is rich with limestone – slate terraces from the quaternary period with large gravel from alluvial origin.
The priority, for several decades now, has been to re-plant varieties with quality grape varieties. Convinced that the quality of wine starts in the vineyard we have favoured hight density planting (from 4500 to 5500 feet / ha). This allows for high trellising and leaf ensuring good exposure and excellent ventilation of the berries.
