Château La Voulte-Gasparets

Château La Voulte-Gasparets is located in the heart of the Corbières appellation, in the Languedoc region. Today, Château La Voulte-Gasparets is in the hands of the Reverdy family and run by Patrick and his son Laurent, who proudly showcase the Carignan grape variety (the estate boasts some of the oldest vines of this variety). The estate benefits from expertise and cultivation methods that elevate its wines to the pinnacle of the appellation.

The estate’s vineyard is situated on one of the best—if not the best—terroirs in the Corbières, and it is the one that Château La Voulte-Gasparets had the foresight to choose from the very beginning. Its vineyards were, in fact, recognized for their excellence very early on. In crafting its red and rosé wines, Château la Voulte-Gasparets has fortunately remained faithful to Carignan (50%), a traditional indigenous grape variety that provides the wine’s structure and distinct character, and whose ruggedness is so well balanced by Grenache (25%), another traditional variety; these two varieties provide the essential character of the Corbières appellation, to which are added relatively recently introduced varieties: Mourvèdre (15%) and Syrah (10%). In addition, specific grape varieties are used in the production of white wines: Rolle (50%), Grenache (40%), and Maccabeu (10%). These are all grape varieties that make up the Corbières AOC, established in 1985, to which the Boutenac appellation was recently added and of which Château la Voulte-Gasparets is one of the jewels.
