Country of Origin: France
Location: Corbières
People: Bernard Rigaud, Owner | Delphine Glangetas, Winemaker
The estate is located in the lieu dit of
Montauriol which is a south facing slope and plateau under the Boutenac
national forest overlooking the town of Thézan Les Corbières.
Bernard Rigaud aims to make
wines that are a benchmark for Corbières. He has just 5ha of sun-soaked
vineyards in the hills above Thézan. The meticulously tended vines are
mostly ancient and low-yielding Carignan with a little Syrah. The soil is composed
of iron rich red limestone with very little organic matter and
surrounded by garrigue (pine, rosemary, thyme & nettles).
