Château Coupe-Roses

Chateau Coupe-Roses (AOP Minervois) is a family estate (since 1600). It was our mother's domain, before grandmother and even before great grandmother. A story of women (many) and men (too). Today we work my brother and I together. We have 40ha of vines, everything is worked according to a holistic approach, that is to say that we try to play on a set of factors to make the vines as independent and healthy as possible. Because for us a good wine comes from a good grape, the vine must be healthy and well integrated into its environment. This means concretely that we work in biodynamics (Demeter), we do agroforestry, soft carvings and we replant old native grape varieties resistant to drought because we do not wish to irrigate. All our harvests are manual. We are located in La Caunette, a village in the heights of the Minervois between 200 and 400 m above sea level on a Karstic plateau (limestone cliffs in which water has dug cavities). Between the altitude, the biodynamic work and the basements with caves, our wines have a very nice freshness. We make 4 white wines and one orange wine. It's rare in Minervois where whites represent only 3% of the AOP, and we have 7 red wines and a rosé wine.
