WINE DESCRIPTION

Nestled within the picturesque landscape lies the Cascadais estate, renowned for its exquisite Corbières wine and more. Upon his arrival, Philippe embraced organic practices, tending to vines, fruit trees, and olive groves, established in 2000. Across 26 hectares, old Carignan and Mourvèdre vines, joined by Syrah, flourish under Philippe's attentive care alongside two dedicated workers. Notably, Cascadais offers only one Corbières red, eschewing special vintages for a consistently exceptional wine, embodying truth and quality. Philippe's philosophy is simple: nurture the vine, preserve its essence, and embrace natural winemaking. Amidst Corbières' evolving landscape, organic initiatives herald a promising future, resonating deeply with Philippe's vision of authenticity and sustainability.

ORIGINS

Winery: Philippe Courrian

Region: Languedoc-Roussillon

Languedoc-Roussillon is an expansive wine region in the south of France stretching from Nîmes and Montpellier east along the Mediterranean coast and inland to the Spanish border. It is the largest wine-producing region in the country, with a long and rich history of winemaking. The Languedoc-Roussillon region has been producing wine since the Roman Empire. It was the first region in France to produce sparkling wines, and it has been a major producer of fortified wines since the Middle Ages. In the 19th century, the region was known for its sweet wines, but in the 20th century, it began to focus on producing dry wines.
