Sustainable Viticulture and Amazing Terroir

Château Canet’s 50 hectares of vineyards are in the center of Balcons de L’Aude of the Minervois region. The terroir here is fantastic with limestone and clayey soil. The vines also benefit from the Mediterannean influence and the Atlantic winds blowing from the North. The winery follows Terra Vitis guidelines of sustainable viticulture. It helps in growing sweet, fruity grapes while protecting the environment and the health of their vineyards for long-term future use. Syrah is the main grape that covers over half of their vineyards. Apart from it, Grenache, Chardonnay, Viognier, Sauvignon, Bourboulanc, Muscat, and Roussanne also grow. The best grapes are used to make their award-winning red, white, and rose wines. It is the perfect place to relax and enjoy fabulous wines.
