Discover our wine region, the Corbières appellation area, by following five themed routes: the Lake and Sea Route; the Cathar Chateaux Route; the Boutenac cru Route; the Alaric Route and the Narbonne to Lézignan-Corbières Route. Each one of them can be explored in a day, or over several days.
There is no beginning, end or compulsory stopover. Everyone can spend an indulgent moment where and when they like. Just sit back and enjoy. The worst that can happen is that you fall in love with this corner of Southern France, with its singsong accent and wine growers whose authenticity is deeply rooted in their culture.
Along 55 km from Boutenac to Luc-sur-Orbieu, 50 wine growers offer tastings of Boutenac Cru wines, the only village growth within the appellation.
The harmonious landscape even looks like a small Tuscany thanks to the softness of its reliefs, its beautiful undulating vines and its majestic cypress trees.
In an area where vineyards are omnipresent and Carignan is the king of grapes, the iconic wines are ample, deep and distinguished and can be tasted at special moments.
