Château de Fourques: A Legacy of Women Winemakers

Château de Fourques, established in the 18th century, is nestled between Juvignac and Saint-Georges d'Orques, just a stone's throw from Montpellier. This family-owned estate has been dedicated to the art of viticulture for five generations, with women at the helm since its inception. Utilizing modern winemaking techniques, the team at Château de Fourques crafts wines that truly reflect the essence of the Languedoc-Roussillon region.

Winemaking Practices at Château de Fourques

Spanning 50 hectares, the vineyard features a spacious cellar equipped with a mix of traditional Russian oak barrels and contemporary stainless steel vats. The estate prioritizes biodiversity, maintaining ecological areas that support local wildlife, including nesting birds and bees. Visitors will be greeted by a striking wooden door framed in solid oak at the cellar entrance, which helps regulate the temperature naturally. Each year, the winery produces around 3,000 hectoliters of red, rosé, and white wines in a remarkable 100-meter-long cellar.

Lise, the owner, warmly welcomes guests to enjoy the serene surroundings of vineyards and rolling hills, offering stunning views of the Montpellier landscape.

A lovely visit despite the weather. Lise welcomed my partner and I for a personalized tasting, where she explained how to properly taste wine. Then it was one of the most open and enjoyable tastings with a surprise twist at the end. Not only is Lise incredible, the wine is phenomenal. The whole vineyard has a familial, positive atmosphere. A true highlight of our visit to Montpellier.

My favourite vineyard near Montpellier! I can hardly imagine anything better but to stroll to the countryside (close enough to town not to need a car), on a beautiful sunny day, and spending some time at this lovely women lead place. They don't do tastings just for one, so i paid double but i got all the attention and learned all about wine in the area as well as tasting it. The wine is indeed something special.
