Presentation
C
hâteau le Bouis, located at the foot of the Massif de la Clape, has
been welcoming wine lovers for 300 years.
La Clape, a little island from a Gallo Roman area with over 2000 years of
know- how in vine growing, has built an international reputation due to its
quality of wines and its wonderful terroir.
Château Le Bouis, a 49 hectare plot, is located on the edge of the Corbières
Terroir, on the Mediterranean seafront.
The vineyard includes a restaurant and terrace that overlooks the vines
and possesses stunning sea views that offer guests peace and tranquility. A
guesthouse, dating from the XVIII century, has been restored for residents to
enjoy this unique environment.
To complement its charm, The Bouis Barn produces two premium cuvée.
11
An historic place
A
uring the Gallo Roman area, La Clape was an island. After the Roman
conquest in 118 B.C. it became famous and Romans started to grow
vines.
Gradually the island began to be part of the continent because sediments
from the Aude river started to fill the pound (?).
“Today, even if man changes,
La Clape will always be a terroir full of authenticity with an
astonishing array of quality wine.”
Massif de la Clape has a hard and dry climate. Sun and wind are the perfect
marriage for the exposed rock. If La Clape is one of sunniest spots in France
it is because there are thriteen winds crossing the skies.
Sometimes, a southern thunderstorm transforms this windy site into a tropical
island.
With these three elements, the vines remain strong. Water cleans and feeds
it. Wind dries it and gives them fresh air. Sun fills the grapes with sugar.
The harsh climatic conditions is a sign of high quality.Le caillou endurcit la
vigne et lui permet d’exprimer son plein potentiel.
“ Stones, stones, stones ! ”
If its a flat stone floor, red land, grey or yellow marls or red sandstone, La Clape
is a collection of types of soil where each grape variety can find happiness.
Stone strengthen vines and allow them to develop their full potential.
