Gourmet products local specialties and wines Roquebrun

It is by tasting the wine of the Boss, not far from where we discovered this wine grower, which rises in the heart of the shale of the red, rosé and white Saint Chinian, in bottles or in bulk. Andréus was regaled from a beautiful assembly of Mourvèdre, Syrah and Carignan. It is a generous wine that develops fruit aromas. A good address!

Classified as AOC Saint-Chinian-Roquebrun and Saint-Chinian, with over 800 gold medals in ten years, the Roquebrun vineyard is located in the Haut-Languedoc Regional Park, 30 km north of Béziers. It benefits from an exceptional microclimate, enabling the cultivation of orange and lemon trees. Referred to as the "Little Nice of the Hérault", it is one of the Orb valley's most popular tourist destinations. This climate, combined with its characteristic schist soils, produces supple, elegant wines that are a benchmark in the Languedoc region.

Domaine du Vieux Chai in Roquebrun is a family-run business committed to respecting tradition and the environment. Set on 9 hectares of clay-limestone and schist soils, it combines century-old vines with trellised cultivation. Its range of white, rosé and red IGP Haute Vallée de l'Orb and AOP Saint-Chinian and Saint-Chinian Roquebrun wines is distinguished by its roundness, freshness and assertive character. Here, working the vines is an art handed down from generation to generation, in harmony with nature, producing exceptional cuvées.

It was while tasting the nearby Cuvée du Patron that we discovered this winemaker, who raises reds, rosés and whites in the heart of the Saint-Chinian appellation's schists, both bottled and in bulk. We liked the Andréus cuvée, a fine blend of Mourvèdre, Syrah and Carignan. It's a generous, full-bodied wine with aromas of ripe fruit. The property stretches along the banks of the Orb, on the lands of the former ^12th-century priory of Saint-André-de-Vexos. Vines were first cultivated here in 1850. A great address!
