Presentation
The "Philibert du Charme" range celebrates the Pays d'Oc, the world's largest vineyard, nestled in the south of France. This exceptional terroir unfolds its diversity of grape varieties, from the sun-drenched shores of the Mediterranean to the mountains of the Cévennes, all the way to the foothills of the imposing Pyrenees.
Terroir
The Merlot and Cabernet grapes come from vineyards near Carcassonne, on the banks of the Aude, at the southern limit of Minervois. Gravelly soils with some alluvium and pebbles, Mediterranean climate.
