Ranked among the most remarkable sites of Occitanie , the medieval city of Carcassonne also draws its charm from the surrounding vineyards. Its ramparts overlook a wine-growing region boasting some thirty estates, the majority of which produce their wines under the IGP Cité de Carcassonne label . On these soils, ideal for viticulture, the climate is determined by the geographical convergence of Mediterranean and oceanic influences. The same is true of the grape varieties, which include both typical southeastern and southwestern varieties. It is therefore no surprise that Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon grow alongside Grenache and Syrah. Red, rosé, and white wines are all produced in this terroir, deeply steeped in history and centuries-old traditions. Characterized by their fruit, freshness and structural balance, the wines produced in IGP Cité de Carcassonne testify to the commitment of the winemakers to enhance the typicities and climatic singularities of their ancestral land.
