Château de Cabriac

Château de Cabriac is situated on a series of east-west facing hills at the foot of the northern slopes of the Alaric mountain, in the Corbières massif. This location, in the shade of this massif, which tempers the aggressiveness of the Mediterranean summer and prevents heatstroke, is a very important quality asset.

This location was appreciated very early on. The Romans built a villa here. In 1215, the Knights Templar founded a priory dedicated to St Martin. During the French Revolution, Château de Cabriac was sold to the Berlioz family as property belonging to the clergy, whose last heir sold it to the de Cibeins family in 1945.

The estate covers 80 hectares of vines, 45 in Corbières and 35 in vins de pays.

The AOP Corbières reds are Grenache Noir 26%, Syrah 38%, Mourvèdre 14% and Carignan 19%, plus 3% Cinsault for the rosés.

The Carignan vines are over 50 years old.

The whites are: rolle 40%, grenache blanc 47% and roussanne 13%.
