Narbonne is bathed in an ocean of vines. Three denominations of origin around the city: Corbières, Coteaux du Languedoc La Clape and Quatourze. Lost in the Massif de la Clape wild and serenity of the pond-Sigean Bages, a small rock formed by Chinese rusty Mediterranean seaside. A little uneven ground for this wine with appellation of origin, which stretches at a time when the roots of the vines rooted history exhaustively built on 550 acres. It is surely one of the oldest vineyards in France and the Languedoc region, planted by the Romans 2,000 years ago. The city of Narbonne has bought a plot of 7.5 hectares, which produces Narbo 118. Narbo 118 is a crop with humanitarian objectives, which sells permits to finance the construction of water towers in Burkina Faso. Narbonne, as the original name of the city. 118 as the date of its founding two centuries ago. It can be proved in the Roman granary, the main trace of the Gallo-Roman city of Narbonne. Quartouze is like drinking a memory test. If the vineyards of the chateau de Notre-Dame-du-Quartouze used to belong to the archbishops of Carbona until the late nineteenth century, current production is under the direction of Georges Ortola, determined to conquer China. Growers invested in a bottling plant in the heart of the Middle Kingdom Chinese. Grenache, and Mourvèdre Cinsalt for red wines; Maccabieu, Vermentino and Viognier for whites. You can test them in the act.
