CHÂTEAU DU DONJON

Former outbuilding of the monks of the Caunes-Minervois Abbey, this family-run estate was named after the ancient Château de Bagnoles and its picturesque XIIIth century dungeon. Located just 12 km to the North-East of Carcassonne on the Clamoux region, the estate stretches over 60 ha (30 of which are in the Minervois area). It notably grows Mediterranean grape varieties such as the Grenache or Carignan, produced according to different processes. "Our strength is in this subtle blend between authenticity and technology" claims Jean PANIS. Open on Saturdays-Sundays and Bank Holidays on appointment.
