The wine region of Cabardès
Cabardes is a relatively small appellation for red and rosé wines produced in the hills just North of Carcassonne in Southern France. The appellation was introduced in 1999, to represent and ensure the quality of the wines, which have been produced here since Roman times. The Languedoc-Roussillon/cabards">Cabardès catchment area, situated in the foothills of the Montagne Noire, is on the border between the Languedoc-Roussillon and the South West of France. This dual identity is reflected in the Grape varieties that make up the wines of the appellation: Grenache and Syrah from the south and east of France; Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot from the southwest and Bordeaux.

The word of the wine: R-C (champagne)
Harvesting-cooperator. It is the cooperative which elaborates the champagne of its members from their mixed contributions. It gives them bottles on which they stick their own label. It is legal without being intellectually honest. When you walk around the Champagne region, you may come across signs that say "Vigneron récoltant" to indicate a member of a cooperative. You can always ask him where his vats and press are.
