Table Of ContentThe
Domain
de Longueroche’s
vineyards are situated in village of St-Andre de
Roquelongue in the very heart of the Corbières
region, and more exactly in the land called
Fontfroide, “land blessed by the gods”.
The Fontfroide mountain chains run parallel to the
coastline and frame the oak and pine forests
growing in the winding valleys. The harmony of
nature is so
perfect that it’s easy to imagine that this land was
created expressly to grow the finest wine grapes on.
The Mediterranean climate is a special type of
climate that combines the heat and the drought,
forming near-perfect conditions for the wine grape
maturation.
The vineyards of the Domain produce different
varieties of red grapes: Carignan, Grenache, Syrah,
Cinsault, Mourvèdre and Cabernet; as well as white
Grenache, Chardonnay and Viognier grapes.
Our red wine, partially matured in oak barrels,
tannic and full-bodied, will seduce you with it’s
complexity and aging capacity, our rose wine with
it’s rich mouth feel and fresh fruit flavours, and our
white wine - with it’s elegant aroma.
The harvest of grapes
is done entirely by hand
