The nearby village of Sallèles

Syrah and Merlot vines in the Southeast of the Estate


These grapes are protected from rain and wind by the beautiful Montagne Noire in the distance, so insuring the Mediterranean climate.

All Lanes lead to the Vines


One of the many lanes leading into from the Chateau to the vineyards. This is a lane that passes an ancient Roman villa to the Grenache grapes.
