Château Pech Redon "La Centaurée" - 2019

The Château Pech Redon is a 30 hectare estate, ideally situated on the highest point of the La Clape terroir in the Languedoc region. La Clape is a massif located between Narbonne and the Mediterranean Sea, whose highest point is at an altitude of 214 metres. It is interesting to note that this massif was once an island and that is why marine fossils can still be found there at 150 metres above sea level! This terroir of La Clape is the most coastal and the driest in the Languedoc, with only 500 mm of rain per year on average. On the other hand, this climate is softened and humidified by sea spray and altitude.

Château Pech Redon was created at the beginning of the 20th century, but its origins date back to Roman times. It was in 1988 that Christophe Bousquet's family acquired this beautiful estate. Anxious to preserve the balance of the soil and its environment, Christophe Bousquet began using sustainable agriculture in 1998, and finally switched to Ecocert certified organic farming in 2005.

It is the passionate Christophe Bousquet who speaks best of his wines: "Wines a little salty, reminiscent of pine resin, amber, essences of scrubland, thyme, rosemary, bramble with a style of tannins a little apart, not very dense, we are always in the air... "

The La Centaurée cuvée is produced by blending Mourvèdre and Syrah. From the La Clape appellation, it is grown in organic agriculture on clay-limestone soil. The grapes at the Château are harvested by hand and the wine is aged for 2 years in barrels.

The La Centaurée cuvée has the generosity and power typical of Château Pech Redon. With its carmine red colour, it has an intense nose of black fruits and rosemary from the garrigue. On the palate, La Centaurée is unctuous, powerful in gourmet notes of sweet figs, cinnamon, prunes and juniper.

Perfect with duck, venison, pasta or mushroom risotto.
