Languedoc
Conventional winemaking
AOC Languedoc, often referred to as the worlds biggest vineyard, stretches across from the Pyrenees to Provence across a vast section of the south of France. Whilst home to both simple table wine and world class quality wines, it is above all famous for it’s variety of grapes, of terroirs, of climates and consequently it’s blended wines. Across the 150miles of vines climates and soils range greatly; from a truly cool, maritime climate to warmer and drier continental climates affected by mountains and strong winds.
Vignobles de 3 Chateaux is nestled at the foot of the iconic Pic-Saint-Loup in the heart of the Pic St.-Loup Appellation in the Languedoc. Situated 150 meters above sea level on a clay and limestone terroir, the estate benefits from both Mediterranean and continental climates. The combination of cooler temperatures, abundant rainfall, and mountain winds helps maintain dryness and promotes the health of the vineyards. This unique environment fosters a diurnal range that contributes to supple tannins and rare finesse in the wines. Michel Marty, Managing Director and oenologist, has led the estate for decades, overseeing the production of wines that reflect this exceptional terroir. As a medium-sized cooperative, Vignobles de 3 Chateaux takes its environmental responsibility seriously. In 2000, they built a water treatment facility and established a group of winegrowers committed to sustainable, eco-friendly practices, following the principles of "lutte raisonnée." They were also the first cooperative in the Languedoc-Roussillon region to install photovoltaic panels, further solidifying their dedication to preserving their unique environment.
