Domaine Francois Lurton
France, La Clape
Domaine Francois Lurton (Cote Du Gascogne)
The property extends over 70 hectares with 24 hectares planted with vines. It is located in the commune of Tautavel which lies in the Pyrenées -Orientales, northwest of Perpignan. This is Cathar country and the historic Château de Queribus overlooks the estate. The «terroir» is exceptional, composed of stones from the slow erosion of the Corbières hills. Thanks to the varied schists, shale, sands and large limestone rocks, the grapes are able to reach perfect levels of ripeness. The planting density is low at around 3600 vines per hectare.
