Château Jérémie - Domaines Paul Mas

Château Jérémie

A Corbières estate in Fabrezan (11200), part of the Domaines Paul Mas. 68 hectares at the foot of the Alaric massif, in the Languedoc, Corbières and Corbières-Boutenac appellations. Mediterranean varieties, old vines, manual harvesting. Structured reds, faithful to the identity of the Corbières.

On the historic road linking Carcassonne to Narbonne, in the heart of the Corbières, Château Jérémie is anchored in a powerful landscape, shaped by time and by people. In Fabrezan, the vine dialogues with history: in the Orbieu valley, one can still perceive the distant echo of the Cathar horsemen and the mineral breath of the surrounding hills. The vineyard spans nearly 68 hectares, at the foot of the Alaric massif.

Fabrezan, the beating heart of the estate

The Château Jérémie cellar is located in the very centre of the village of Fabrezan. Semi-buried, it stands out for its remarkable timber frame, made by a compagnon du devoir, and was completely renovated in 2014. Its two reception docks, one entirely gravity-fed, allow precise, respectful work on the harvest, in traditional as well as carbonic maceration.

A savoir-faire guided by the relief

Manual harvest - gravity-fed cellar

A large part of the harvest is done by hand; the old Carignan and Grenache are trained in gobelet. The semi-buried cellar of Fabrezan, renovated in 2014, has a gravity-fed dock, with vinifications in traditional and carbonic maceration depending on the cuvees.
