Faugères is a prestige wine appellation in the heart of the Languedoc on the edge of the Cévennes foothills. Autignac (34 Hérault, Occitanie) is one of seven villages which are set amidst vineyards, pine trees and garrigue/ moorland scrub. This Faugères vineyard B&B at Chateau Autignac is in the heart of the village.
Each of Château Autignac’s five rooms and suites has benefited from a contemporary refurbishment in keeping with the château’s restoration.
The Junior Rooms, Junior Suites and Suite all feature upscale furnishings, a king size bed and a bright, spacious bathroom. Careful attention has been devoted to every detail to ensure that guests enjoy a stay devoted to relaxation and well-being.
The Chateau’s wines are bottled under the label of Domaine Prés Lasses. Here, the wind and sunshine combine to ensure perfect conditions for organic wine growing. This helps to focus on preserving soil vitality and the vineyard’s natural balance to nurture the character of the wines.
The Faugères vineyards grow on rugged terrain on the edge of the Cévennes foothills just North of Béziers. Here, the schist soils are porous and poor in nutrients. As a result, the vine’s roots delve deep into the ground extracting the unique personality of this terroir. The red Faugères AOP are made from a blend of Carignan and Grenache, some cuvées include Syrah grapes.They also produce a white Faugères AOP made from a blend of Clairette, Grenache blanc, Roussanne and Vermentino.
The Chateau offers wine tastings, when you can learn about the wines and the techniques of organic wine-making.
