Domaine of Cabrol

 

Grape vines have been cultivated at Cabrol since the 16th century. Situated at an altitude of 300 meters, on the hills overlooking the "Cité" of Carcassonne, the Domaine is the highest within the Cabardès appellation.

The Domaine entails 130 hectares of which only 21 are cultivated. Forests and "garrigues" make up the major part and separate the vineyards. This natural separation keeps the vines in the best of health. Each grape variety is planted where it can best flourish on those plots of land or "parcelles" with the most suitable exposure, soil composition and moisture. In fact each "parcelle" has its own micro-climate. The quality of Cabrol wines is primarily due to these unique characteristics of the Domaine.
