Situated
in the western half of the
Minervois,
15km North of
Carcassonne
on the land of the "
Côtes
Noires". The Villatade spreads
out through 120 hectares, made-up of fir
trees, heath land and
22 hectares
of vineyards.
Surrounded by hills and protected by
the Black Mountain to
the North. The estate has a descending
view of the Plain of the Minervois and
the rugged outline of the Pyrenees.
The history of the estate is uncertain.
It goes back to Roman times where it gets
its name. Later it became perhaps a monastery
surrounded by its vineyards
The present owners Denis and Sophie Morin
were charmed by the natural beauty of the
area, as they were by the vineyards growing
on the slopes which surround the house and
cellar.
Our objective is to produce
agreeable
and expressive wines from our terroir.
