Château Cicéron is an unspoilt environmental haven offering the ideal location to relax and live at one with nature.
The facilities are designed for vineyard experimentation, wine tourism and wine-related occupations. Cicéron is the signature brand of a premium Château range dedicated to the ‘Lion’ – charismatic patriarch Jean Vialade – along with an incredible collection of varietals.
This wine pairs with seafood, fish terrine and goat’s cheese with Corbières honey.
| Grape-varieties | Marsanne, Roussanne, Grenache blanc. |
| Soil | The vineyards are located directly below an amphitheatre hollowed out by the river Orbieu, in the Lagrasse area, at the foot of Mount Alaric. Partly sheltered by the southern tip of Mount Alaric from the westerly ‘Cers’ wind that blows across lower Languedoc, Lagrasse enjoys a Mediterranean climate that is very conducive to late ripening. The elevation of the vineyard, between 100 and 150 metres above sea level, mitigates the high summer temperatures. |
| Winemaking | The grapes are harvested at the start of the morning to preserve the freshness of the fruit. They are then destemmed, put into tanks for short skin-contact maceration and subsequently pressed in a pneumatic press. We then use cold clarification to clarify the juice prior to fermentation. Fermentation lasts 2 weeks at low temperatures after yeast has been added. |
| Tasting Notes | An aromatic, fruity white wine with an elegant, refined structure. Drink within the first three years after bottling whilst still fresh. Drinking temperature: 12°C. |
