Bruno Pellegrini, an oenologist by training and a winemaker at heart, has successfully restructured his estate: rigorous selection of new grape varieties, control of production, and a respectful approach to the environment. Today, his daughter Ophélie and son-in-law Xavier are carrying on the family tradition. As a result, after decades of hard work, these wines from the La Clape terroir are exported all over the world. Their quality is underlined by the many awards they have won. You can follow the latest news from the domaine on our social networks.

Owner's Message
In 1990, Bruno Pellegrini, a trained oenologist originally from the Italian Tyrol, took over the estate and created a range of Languedoc wines reflecting terroir, passion and personality!
In this 36-hectare vineyard, where garrigues, limestone, wind, sun and sea spray from our beloved Mediterranean Sea mingle, a rigorous selection of clones and grape varieties, as well as strict control of production, have been implemented to restore the Languedoc's reputation.
Château Ricardelle offers a range of great Languedoc wines, many of which have won medals in international competitions, as well as bed & breakfast accommodation close to Narbonne and the first beaches of Gruissan, in a peaceful setting steeped in legend. Connoisseurs and visitors alike will appreciate this stay punctuated by a host of activities: tasting the great wines of the southern terroirs, sensational hikes, visits to the winery, charming gîtes...
