Château de la soujeole: ecological transmission of a family héritage

Château la Soujeole: La Plénitude 

Located not far from the medieval city of Carcassonne, Château de la Soujeole enjoys an extraordinary setting. The atypical and discreet terroir of La Malepère benefits from both Mediterranean and oceanic influences coming from the west.

The beauty and purity of the place convinced Gérard Bertrand as early as 2013 to cultivate the vines according to the principles of Biodynamics: respect for nature and soil life, no use of pesticides or chemical fertilisers, etc.

In order to find the perfect balance between the mineral, plant and animal worlds, the plots are cultivated and ploughed with the help of a mule. Animal traction, unlike mechanical traction, avoids compacting the soil, allowing it to breathe, for a richer soil life!

This extraordinary terroir that is the Malepère appellation is ideal for cultivating oceanic grape varieties such as Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Malbec, the three varieties that make up Château de la Soujeole Grand Vin Rouge.

A characterful wine sourced from the estate's finest plots

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 blended after 12 months of ageing in oak barrels.

Sourced from the best vineyard plots of the Château, Château de la Soujeole Grand Vin Rouge is a characterful cuvée, with a unique terroir flavour, for the great pleasure of fine wine lovers.
