CHATEAUX
DU VIEUX PARC – 1 ave Vignerons, 11200 Conilhac-Corbières
As most of
the vine-yards in the area Château du Vieux Parc is concentrated on red wine of AOP Corbières.
They also produce one white and one rosé under this classification and a red
Vdp Hautrive.
We first
came in contact with this vine-yard in the 90s when we were wine importers and
we still visit them occasionally to get a case or two of their wine. In the
next door gourmet restaurant L’Auberge
Côte Jardin it is a natural thing for us to choose wine from them with our
meal. Our favorite wine is the top quality Cuvée Selection, but all the wines
are excellent.
An unusual thing is that this producer offers
wine of older harvests for you to buy. Normally you can only buy the wine that
has just been bottled and have to mature it yourself. Here you can get a bottle
that is already matured to your taste, open it up as soon you get home and
drink it with your meal.
The
wine-shop is situated in the castle in the dead center of the little village
Conilhac-Corbières surrounded by a park. If you happens to visit the yearly November jazz festival in the village,
where you can enjoy world star artist – do not forget to get there a little
early and visit the château to get a few cases of the lovely wine.
