Château Mansenoble

The History of Château Mansenoble

Château Mansenoble has a rich history that began in 1881 when it was established by the Huc Family. In 2016, the estate was acquired by a Latvian family, continuing the legacy of Guido, a former insurance professional turned passionate winemaker. After years of writing about wine, Guido decided to fully commit to winemaking. The new owners modernized the winery's equipment and carefully selected the best vineyard plots, ensuring the highest quality of grapes. Today, Château Mansenoble stands as a testament to their dedication to the art of winemaking in the Languedoc region.

The Terroir of Château Mansenoble

Located at the foot of the majestic Mount Alaric in the picturesque village of Moux, Château Mansenoble benefits from a unique climate. The Mediterranean's warmth is balanced by cooler, wetter winds from the Atlantic, creating ideal conditions for grape growing. The vineyard's soil is primarily clay-limestone, with variations that contribute to the complexity of the wines produced here.

Wines of Château Mansenoble

Château Mansenoble's vineyards span 23 hectares within the Corbières appellation, with approximately 70% of their production exported. Currently, the winery specializes in red wines, cultivating Grenache Noir, Carignan, Mourvèdre, and Syrah grapes. Additionally, 6.5 hectares are dedicated to Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Each grape variety is processed separately in stainless steel tanks before blending. In a significant development for the estate, white grape varieties Vermentino and Bourboulenc were planted in 2019, marking a new chapter in their winemaking journey.
