CHÂTEAU DE CARAGUILHES

We are absolutely delighted to welcome this important and historic Corbières Estate to the Thorman Hunt portfolio.  With 135 hectares of organically farmed vineyards, and a wonderful, long-term commitment to sustainable agriculture and the environment Caraguilhes is a star of the Languedoc.

Organically certified since 1987, the estate, in one block, is surrounded by 50 further hectares of garrigues, and the wines carry a dramatic and exciting sense of place.

Le Cochon Volant Rouge is an AOP Languedoc, a plush blend of Grenache, Syrah, Carignan and Cinsault, while the Cochon Volant Blanc is refreshing and a direct blend of Viognier, Vermentino and Colombard.

For the Corbières, we have decided to list a red and white, both of which demonstrate a true sense of the magical estate with its natural local flora.  La Font Blanche is both organic and biodynamic, a generous yet defined blend of 50% Roussane, 30% Grenache Blanc and 20% Vermentino. Les Gourgoules Corbières Rouge is also organically and biodynamically farmed on clay, limestone and pebbly terroir.  It’s a blend of Grenache and Syrah with small component of carbonically macerated Carignan to add freshness and lift to this intense and evocative wine.
