CHÂTEAU ÉTANG DES COLOMBES
More than two centuries ago, the pond of Lézignan was the fishing place preferred by the archbishops of Narbonne, now disappeared, it gave place to many plots of vineyards that Château Etang des Colombes perfectly exploits. Here, for four generations, the work of the vineyard has been guided by the same goal, a quality of the grapes at the harvesting so that the material testifies to the specificity of the ground in the glass. A superb underground cellar was dug for the barrel aging. You can visit it, just like the museum of the property which has belonged to the Gualco family for a century. Gris des Colombes, very fruity in the mouth, a summer wine par excellence, or the sweet wine with taste of honey and jam, walnut with a very good length in the mouth, it is divine with foie gras or roquefort. Since 2001, the method has changed to improve. Inspired the Alsatian late grape harvest, here, the grape is collected at the end of October then it is directly pressed, vinified and put in barrels. Château Etang des Colombes offers a unique wine that is not to miss. Do not hesitate to get there (by appointment) to taste and enjoy rates as sweet as their viognier passerille!
