The Château des Adouzes is located in the medieval village of Roquessels in the heart of the AOP Faugères. The appellation is exclusively made up of one of the most sought-after terroirs in the world, schist. Cuvée made from an almost century-old Carignan vine planted in 1929 and affectionately nicknamed “La Vieille”. It is blended with a little Syrah from the same tenement.
