Domaine Cottebrune
Domaine Cottebrune sits in Faugères, a hillside appellation within Languedoc-Roussillon where schist soils and Mediterranean warmth shape wines of mineral precision and dark fruit intensity. The estate works with varieties native to southern France: Mourvèdre, Vermentino, Syrah, and Grenache. Transhumance, a Mourvèdre-based wine, demonstrates the region's capacity for structure and depth, while Le Caïrn Blanc—a Vermentino—captures the aromatic lift and salinity typical of white wines from this terrain. Parole de Berger blends Syrah and Grenache, the classic pairing that defines Languedoc's red character. Wine Advocate and Decanter have rated these bottlings, reflecting their standing within the broader conversation around southern French viticulture.
