Château La Voulte-Gasparets

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

The estate's vineyard is located on one of the best terroirs in Corbières, if not the best, and it is the one that Château la Voulte-Gasparets had the foresight to choose from the outset. Its properties were recognized very early on. For the production of its red and rosé wines, Château la Voulte-Gasparets has fortunately remained faithful to Carignan (50%), a traditional indigenous grape variety that provides the structure and originality of the wine and whose harshness is so well corrected by Grenache (25%), another traditional grape variety. These two varieties provide the essential characteristics of Corbières wines, to which are added relatively recent imports, Mourvèdre (15%) and Syrah (10%). Specific grape varieties are also 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, obtained in 1985, to which the Boutenac appellation was recently added and of which Château la Voulte-Gasparets is one of the jewels.
