The Château
de Flaugergues is situated in one of the twelve terroirs found
in the Côteaux du Languedoc known as 'La
Mejanelle'.
The Romans
cultivated vines and olives here over 2000 years ago. The
monks of Grand Mont maintained this tradition, and after them
the ancestors of the current owners have continued to do so
from 1696 until the present day.
This exceptional
terroir is made up of rounded pebbles calles 'les Grés'
(from deposits in the Rhone delta) and thrives in the area's
Mediterranean climate with its strong maritime influence.
The 30
Ha (75 acre) vineyard is dominated by early-ripening grapes;
it is the harmonious combination of different vines
which allows for the creation of such a rich range of fine
aromatic wines.
