More Info
This Corbières is made at one of France’s more interesting cooperatives, the Celliers des Demoiselles, from their best sites just below the old château. Cellier des Demoiselles was established by a group of women who, in order to ensure that viticulture and terroir didn’t suffer during WW1, took over the reins of the local co-op after all the men had left for the front in 1914. At the time, it was unheard of for women to make wine, let alone to be tending vineyards! Since then, the estate and its vineyards has passed down generation by generation.
