Corbières in autumn clothes: Immerse yourself in the world of winegrowers
🍇 The harvest is over, it's time for the 2024 vintage!
That's it, the harvest is over! The 2024 vintage is now resting peacefully in the vats of the Cellier des Demoiselles , where we are proud to be among the cooperative winegrowers. Between blue skies, generous harvests and contagious good humor, this season was a real success.
Jacques, our master of the vineyards, has put his heart and soul into it and it shows: a great vintage is in the making. From Boutenac to Château Durfort , via Sauvignon and Blanc des Demoiselles , fermentation is in full swing. Some wines are already preparing to adorn themselves with their finest bottles, while others will take the time to refine their aromas. Patience, everything comes to those who know how to wait... and taste!
🫒 When olives turn red
While the wine is calming down in the cellar, our olives are starting to look beautiful. Dame Aglandau is taking on red hues, while the elegant Lucques and Olivières are adorned with purple hues. A few more days of respite, and the harvest can begin. It will then be time to savor these sun-drenched fruits, which will enchant your dishes... and your taste buds!
🎉 Let the party begin!
After the effort, it's time for the festivities! Between the DISABOLS (our traditional end-of-harvest meals) and the moments of sharing around wine, there are plenty of opportunities to get together. And speaking of celebration, don't miss the "Fascinating Weekend" on October 19 and 20. On the program: guided walks in Lagrasse and Homps , escape game at the Château de Luc sur Orbieu , and a visit to the Spiktri museum , housed in a former cooperative cellar. Enough to awaken all your senses!
