Château de la Soujeole: ecological transmission of a family heritage
Château la Soujeole: Fullness
Located not far from the medieval city of Carcassonne, the Château de la Soujeole benefits from an extraordinary location. The atypical and confidential terroir of Malepère benefits from both Mediterranean influences and oceanic influences from the west.
The beauty and purity of the place convinced Gérard Bertrand in 2013 to cultivate the vines according to the principles of Biodynamics: respect for nature and the life of the soil, no use of pesticides or chemical fertilizers, etc.
In order to find the perfect balance between the mineral, plant and animal world, the plots are cultivated and plowed using the mule. Animal traction, unlike mechanical traction, allows the soil not to be compacted, thus allowing it to breathe, for a richer soil life!
This extraordinary terroir that is the Malepère appellation is ideal for growing oceanic grape varieties such as Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Malbec, the three grape varieties that make up the Château de la Soujeole Grand Vin Rouge.
A wine of character from the best plots of the estate
The grape harvest is carried out by hand, in two stages, each grape variety is picked separately, in a precise order. The grape varieties are then assembled after 12 months of aging in oak barrels.
Coming from the best plots of vines of the Château, the Château de la Soujeole Grand Vin Rouge is a cuvée of character, with a unique terroir flavor, for the great pleasure of lovers of good wine.
