In the heart of the Cathare region, an arid windswept place, where the vine seems to be climbing the slopes in an attack on the rocky garrigue, Château Aguilar keeps watch over the village of Tuchan. The vineyards of Tuchan, a patchwork of small parcels of old carignan vines, grenache and syrah, is located right in the middle of the Fitou appellation, at the foot of Mont Tauch. It is surrounded by small hills of limestone and slate where thyme, rosemary, gorse, heath, box and oaks grow. It is this unique terroir that gives such flavours to the exceptional wines of Mont Tauch. Established in 1913, the Cave des Producteurs de Mont Tauch, mainly produces wines from such prestigious appellations as Fitou, Muscat de Rivesaltes, Rivesaltes and Corbières in red, white and rosé, sufficient great wines to make them the most renowned producer in the region.
