[vc_row][vc_column][rev_slider_vc alias=”slidehome_en”][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]Ch\u00e2teau La Roque is a historic wine estate nestled in the heart of Pic Saint-Loup appellation.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The estate, which is located in the commune of Fontan\u00e8s, around 20 kilometres north of Montpellier, is one of the gems of this famous appellation. It consists of a single piece of land of 80 hectares, including 32 hectares of vines. On a terroir of clay and limestone scree, the terraced vineyard, with a southerly\/south-easterly aspect, forms an amphitheatre composed of different plots carved out of the scrubland. Here, nature is everywhere. The place is amazingly unspoiled, offering a unique interaction between rocks, plants, vines and woods. The remains of a feudal ch\u00e2teau proudly testify to a rich history linked to an exceptional site, at the crossroads of numerous roads travelled by man since the dawn of time. Ch\u00e2teau La Roque produces white, ros\u00e9 and red wines from vines which have been cultivated biodynamically for many years. La Roque wines are appreciated throughout the world, and the \u201cLa Cupa\u201d cuv\u00e9e is regularly acclaimed by the specialist press. The red and ros\u00e9 wines are made from Syrah, Mourv\u00e8dre and Grenache grapes, while the grape varieties grown for the white wines are Viognier, Rolle (or Vermentino) white Grenache, Roussanne and Marsanne.\u00a0Sylviane and Bertrand Barascud fell for the charm of this magical place. They have owned the estate since the summer of 2015, and with their team are striving to write a new page in the vineyard\u2019s history. They are very involved on an everyday basis, endeavouring to express the terroir and produce wines which are the most honest and successful reflection of it.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_custom_heading text=”Shop” font_container=”tag:h2|text_align:center” use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1476112161451{margin-bottom: 10px !important;padding-top: 10px !important;}”][vc_text_separator title=”” color=”chino” css=”.vc_custom_1461094460995{margin-bottom: 20px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
