Château des Lanes
Château des Lanes produces wines from Languedoc, the expansive southern French region known for robust Mediterranean varietals and excellent value. The winery's Corbières, a blend of Grenache and Shiraz/Syrah, captures the warm, structured character typical of the appellation—ripe stone fruit and spice balanced by the region's natural acidity. The Tollinche Freres Montagne D'Alaric Corbières offers another expression from the same terroir. Both wines have been assessed by Wine Advocate and Wine Spectator, reflecting the winery's position within Languedoc's serious production. The region's clay and limestone soils, combined with its continental climate moderated by Mediterranean influence, create conditions suited to these southern Rhône-style blends. Château des Lanes operates within a landscape of small and mid-sized producers who have elevated Languedoc's reputation for quality beyond its historical role as bulk wine country.
