From Narbonne, a selection of red, rosé and white wines with a selection of four addresses. Winegrowers proud of their appellation with an emblematic name honouring the city of Narbonne.

The Wines of Coteaux de Narbonne
C.Deschamps
You are invited by this Protected Geographical Indication to discover a diversity of blends such as the Caladoc selection (Malbec crossed with Grenache). Wines in three colours that will seduce wine lovers and novices alike. White wines are aromatic and fresh in the mouth. Rosé wines with a pretty pale pink colour and aromas of red fruit. Red wines often based on Syrah for light red, well-balanced wines with silky, discreet tannins. Some are enjoyed chilled during the summer months.
