Coming from Barjols, after crossing the gorges of Bagarèdes and Vallon Sourn one reaches the village of Correns set in a fertile plain: it is in this preserved natural environment, protected by the Bessillon massif, that is established the Domaine Bastide de Pigné.

Tasting
Superb pink colour, verging on salmon. Rather intense floral nose, with notes of ripe fruits and honey. The mouthfeel reveals a sensation of freshness, and full-body. The result is most pleasant in all simplicity.
