Château Pech Redon

Founded at the beginning of the last century, the estate was purchased and renovated by a wine merchant from Narbonne in 1963 before being acquired in 1988 by the current owners, the Bousquet family. Favorite ed immediately, and the family began cultivating 30 hectares of vineyards, 27 of which were planted with red grape varieties and 3 with white. Mindful of the natural environment surrounding the estate, the Bousquet family decided in 1998 to gradually phase out chemical products and obtained organic farming certification in 2005.

In Pech Redon and throughout the La Clape appellation, the climate is arid—one of the driest in France—with fierce winds blowing almost constantly; there are 13 different types of winds. However, the altitude and sea mist counterbalance this hostile climate, bringing a refreshing coolness. All these climatic characteristics, combined with the soil composition—clay-limestone and stony—contribute to the distinctive character of the wines.

Christophe Bousquetreceived two prestigious accoladesinthe 2018 editions of the Hachette Wine Guide, being named Winemaker of the Year and “ Favorite ” for the Languedoc region in the 2018 RVF Green Guide. Today, the wines of Château Pech Redon are among the Languedoc’s leading labels, producing powerful yet profound wines that are structured yet well-suited for aging, with a freshness that balances the whole. The white wines are becoming rarer, but are no less interesting for it. These are wines with strong personalities that reveal the full identity and complexity of the terroir from which they come, bearing the mark of their creator.
