History
La Bourgade is a Languedoc wine inspired by the style of Burgundy wines, designed to combine finesse, balance and terroir expression in an accessible and contemporary interpretation.
Terroir
The grapes for this wine originate from the clay-limestone hillsides overlooking the medieval citadel of Carcassonne. With a north-to-northwest exposure, the grapes undergo a gradual, complete ripening process, benefiting from a significant day-to-night temperature variation. This results in a wine of remarkable freshness and delicate aromas.
Winemaking
Vinification takes place in concrete vats, beginning with a 24-hour pre-fermentation cold maceration. Fermentation follows a traditional method, including daily pump-overs and some occasional rack-and-return operations. A portion of the wine is then aged for a few months.
