Château de Saint Louis

Château de Saint-Louis, the authentic expression of the Boutenac terroir

In the heart of Boutenac, an emblematic terroir of the Corbières appellation, Château de Saint-Louis embodies the power and singularity of great Languedoc wines. The estate spans 120 hectares of vineyards, cultivated with rigor and common sense through sustainable viticulture practiced for more than three decades.

Here, each wine tells an ancient story. The Boutenac vineyard has been recognized since Antiquity, when Roman legions already exploited this exceptional terroir for the quality of its wines. Château de Saint-Louis is part of this long tradition, combining historical heritage with a contemporary vision.

A modernized vineyard, faithful to its identity

In recent years, the estate has undertaken a complete restructuring of the vineyard and invested in a modern winery to optimize the quality of its winemaking. This modernization allows for greater precision while fully respecting the soul of the place and the natural expression of the terroir.

Yields are deliberately controlled, grapes are harvested at full maturity, and blends are crafted with great care to produce wines that are expressive, balanced, and deep.

The Boutenac terroir, a jewel of the Corbières

The Boutenac terroir is distinguished by:

• a wide diversity of soils,
• a generous Mediterranean climate,
• and the constant influence of sea winds, which naturally protect the vines and concentrate aromas.

This unique combination creates ideal conditions for producing structured, aromatic wines with remarkable freshness.

Boutenac is now recognized as one of the finest terroirs in the Corbières, capable of producing wines of character, suited both for aging and immediate enjoyment.

Mediterranean grape varieties serving wines of character

Château de Saint-Louis relies on emblematic southern grape varieties to craft its wines:

• Bourboulenc and Marsanne for white wines, bringing freshness, finesse, and balance,
• Syrah, Grenache, and Carignan for red wines, the true pillars of the Corbières-Boutenac identity.

Perfectly adapted to the climate and soils, these grape varieties produce wines that are fruity, generous, powerful, yet always harmonious.

Among the wines of Château de Saint-Louis, several cuvées fully embody the estate’s standards and signature:
