2011 CAVE DE ROQUEBRUN Chemin des Olivettes Red, AC Coteaux du Languedoc

Brand Information

The village of Roquebrun and its wine growers welcome you to wine country. Our vines have optimum exposure to the sun in a village framed by mountains protecting from behind, and with the River Orb flowing through and softening the climate. Terre d ’excellence Established since 1968, Roquebrun’s wine cellars are situated in the Haut Languedoc National Park, 30km north of Béziers and between the two regional capitals of Montpellier and Toulouse. The vineyards are spread over an area of 500ha of south facing, schistose hillsides.
