Proudly presented by Robert Richards this truly exceptional wine estate is 10 minutes from Place Carnot in the heart of Carcassonne city.

 

The drive from Carcassonne to the property is scenic, passing through the village of Villemoustaussou as the road climbs through the village to the open countryside and vineyards of the estate.

​

The first thing visitors notice are the wide views in every direction. On a clear day you feel you can almost touch the snow covered Pyrenées mountains. The city is just below but here there is nothing but the sound of the birds, the gardener clipping the hedges and maybe the hoofs of a horse trekking by.

 

The property is set in 16 hectares and is positioned centrally on the land in an elevated position offering superb sunrises and sunsets.

​

The main house is substantial and conveniently all on one level with a superb 120m2 living room with stone fireplace, large gabled beams and smooth travertine floors offering wide views to the south and north. There is a kitchen with arriere cuisine next door and a second cosy family room and down the hallway 4 large bedroom suites, all of which have views of the gardens and vineyards. There is around 400m2 of living space with the winery adding another 300m2.

 

The lower ground floor of the property houses the wine cave with stainless steel storage tanks and wall mounted oak barrels. This is a huge space for serious winemakers with soaring voluted terracotta ceilings in the maturation room.. This atmospheric room which stays at the optimal temperature ideal for wine, is ideal for tasting and tours which the current owners give to paying groups. 

​

The lower ground floor also contains three self contained studio apartments ideal for staff, guests or tourist accommodation.

​

Of the 16 hectares, 6 hectares are currently in production. The current owners use contractors for the work in the vines. The current owners are happy to share their knowledge and help any new owner interested in wine production with the assistance required to continue with the care of the vines and current production.

​

This property offers numerous opportunities as a private estate or being exploited for a tourism project. As well as producing wine the current owners have developed a very successful business built around wine tours, wine tasting and fully catered evening dining for private and corporate groups of up to 20 persons. ​​​
