Description

A historic residence, Château de la Roque Forcade is an 8-hectare vineyard and olive grove, entirely hand-tended.
The terroir of La Roque Forcade, with its clay-limestone soils and climate combining cold and heat on south-facing slopes, and its morning humidity, make this estate a must for epicureans and lovers of fine products. These different grape varieties are blended to produce two cuvées of red wine, one of which is aged in oak barrels to give this wine great roundness and wisdom on the palate for lovers of warm, complex wines. Two cuvées of rosé, whose specificity and minerality will bring a touch of fruity flavor as well as great delicacy to accompany the best regional dishes and characterful cuisines. Local produce: wines, olive oil, honey, cosmetics, calissons, on sale in the cellar store. Accessible for disabled
