Built in the 19th century by Gabriel Henry Duverney, this exceptional residence, nestled in the heart of Baixas, embodies the elegance of traditional Catalan architecture, combining stone and red brick. The park opens onto the Clos du Château, a 38-hectare vineyard where Mediterranean grape varieties flourish. The historic cellars of the Château house old barrels in which exceptional Rivesaltes patiently rest, true treasures, witnesses of a craftsmanship passed down with passion.
