The Winery - Within the heart of the Southern French nature reserve known as, La Clape Massif, the Chateau l’Hospitalet wine estate boasts ancient origins and was recently renovated in 2011 by Gerard Bertrand, famous winemaker of the South of France. A renowned estate combined with a unique hotel experience, Château l’Hospitalet offers a window into the art of appreciating the Southern French wines and this charming property represents the very meaning of the Art de Vivre. In 2013, Château l’Hospitalet began its conversion to a biodynamical culture of the viticulture, transforming it into a leading example of sustainable and respectful agriculture.
Winegrower’s Notes - On the edge of the coast, Château l’Hospitalet overhangs the Mediterranean sea. This vineyard benefits from exceptional climatic conditions (semi-arid Mediterranean climate, with a soft winter). The heat and the Mediterranean sun, attenuated by the altitudinal erase offered from September to October, allows slow maturation for a great aromatic expression and the smoothness of the tannins. Two types of soils contribute to the complexity and the elegance of this vintage. The marly and chalky Gargasien soil at the foot of the cliff, rich in fossils, give to the vine stock a supply of water throughout the summer in spite of the lack of summer rains. The red Mediterranean soil of Barremien formed on blueish grey compact limestone among on the scrub, allow the making of rich and concentrated wines.
