Has your good taste and love of dreamy vineyard landscapes inspired you to spend a few days in the Corbières? We can only congratulate you and help you make your stay even more magical by telling you a few secrets about the vineyards around you.
Or rather: “How can I not find a vineyard around me in the Corbières”, so many vines criss-cross the landscape. From Durban Corbières to Château Haut-Gléon in Villesèque-des-Corbières, the vineyards offer wine lovers and tourists alike an exceptional visual heritage. The vineyards that surround you in the Corbières are cradled in the sunshine of the Mediterranean climate. All types of grape varieties are grown here. From the oldest, such as Petit Verdot, to the greatest classics of French viticulture, such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Malbec.
Durban Corbières is a well-known village for Corbières lovers. Perched high above the Corbières vineyards, this village of some 650 souls is sheltered by the battlements of its listed château, which many tourists visit every summer. If you’re wondering “what’s the vineyard around me” in Durban Corbières, you’re likely to come across vines planted with grape varieties such as Carignan, Mourvèdre, Syrah, Grenache, Lledoner pelut, Bourboulenc, Grenache blanc, Macabeu, Marsanne, Roussanne and Vermentino. These sun-drenched grapes produce delicious wines that have earned their place in French gastronomy over the past 20 years.
In Nissan Lez Enserune, a small commune in the Hérault department crossed by the Canal du Midi and home to the Oppidum d’Enserune, the vineyards around you will be even more different. You’ll be able to taste wines from the Pays d’Enserune vineyards, such as the “Petit Verdot” grape variety, which has been rehabilitated in the region. Cuvée Ensedune Petit Verdot is a signature of the vineyards surrounding the commune of Nissan.
On the Mediterranean coast, the Roman oppidum of Ensérune is a beacon for Ensédune wines. We’re on a terroir that suffers or revels in one of the hottest, driest climates in France. As a team, the winegrowers of the Foncalieu vineyard strive to develop the specific wines born of these soils to create outstanding single-varietal cuvées that we can only recommend.

Domaine Château Haut-Gléon is one of Vignobles Foncalieu’s finest signatures. A wine produced in the Corbières around Château Haut-Gléon, which has become a major tourist attraction in the region in recent years. And probably also one of the finest vintages in the Corbières appellation.
Domaine Haut-Gléon is relatively large, covering 260 hectares of garrigue and forest. 15% of the estate is planted with AOP Corbières and IGP Vallée du Paradis vines. The rich terroir of this exceptional estate enables Vignobles Foncalieu to create elegant wines that are served on the most prestigious tables, such as Gilles GOUJON’s Auberge du Vieux Puits.
