CHATEAU DE NOUVELLES
Based in Tuchan, in the Aude, Château de Nouvelles farms 75 hectares under certified organic agriculture across two contrasting terroirs: clay-limestone at 150 metres and blue schist at 250 metres altitude. Founded in 1834 by the Daurat-Fort family and directed since 2021 by Jean-Rémy Daurat, this is one of the Languedoc-Roussillon's most historically rooted estates, with yields held to 32 hl/ha. Carignan, Grenache noir and Syrah form the backbone of the reds, with two Muscats completing the range. At Halles Quercamps, we selected this estate for the integrity running through every bottle: organically farmed, with nearly two centuries of family continuity behind it. For those seeking Fitou at its most authentic, this is a benchmark.
