Vinification
The grapes are harvested when overripe, de-stemmed and crushed before being put into the vat. Alcoholic fermentation is followed by a period of maceration and maturing in vats on fine lees for several months.
Vineyard
On the shores of the Mediterranean rises an island with flamboyant vegetation. Born from a fragmentation of the Pyrenees, this sandy and pebbled setting hosts a 62-hectare vineyard. It is here that Château L'Esparrou presides. This castle, built by the famous Danish architect Petersen, was the residence of many artists such as Dufy and Cocteau.
TERROIR This terroir, already distinguished in 1813 by the renowned "Guide du Voyageur en France", recognized it as one of the great wines of Roussillon. Its thick rolled pebble floor stores heat and releases it after dark. The breath of the Tramontane cleanses the vines. Rich, complex and voluminous, the wines of Esparrou remain faithful to this exceptional terroir.
