Vaugelas - Les Falaises

The outstanding location for Vaugelas sits right below the Corbières fault line, in Lagrasse valley. Surrounded by the Black Mountains and Mount Alaric, the vineyards are kept healthy by the wind that is funnelled through a corridor located to the north. The terrain here is extremely arid and the vineyards draw their strength from a judiciously located spring 140 metres below ground. Vaugelas is made up of 4 distinct terraces, pebbles, shales, clays and gravel. The harvest is carried out at night, in order to protect the grapes from the heat and to preserve all their aromas. The grapes are treated in the cold before pneumatic pressing. The wine is matured in vats on fine lees with regular stirring for 6 months.
