Unique Wine Chateau Restoration in Languedoc
A Unique Chateau Restoration in Languedoc gives you the chance to own a slice of your own winery.

Languedoc Property Chateau Les Carrasses
The winery in the Languedoc region at Chateau Les Carasses stopped producing wines 20 years ago, when grape pickers became difficult to find. It used to produce boutique wines for the local population. The French, like the people in most Mediterranean countries, are very particular when it comes to olive oil and wine, they like to know the origin of everything they consume. Wine making at this limited production is a labour of love not profit, so when grape pickers could no longer be found, it closed.
Now thanks to an ambitious Languedoc apartment redevelopment plan this exquisite Chateau in the South of France will start producing wine again in limited quantities, not for the general public but just for the 28 future owners of properties at the wine Domaine.
Skilled craftsmen will be employed to transform Chateau Les Carrasses back to its former splendour. Only 28 apartments will be built, in a mixture of apartments in the main building and detached properties in the Chateau grounds with private pools. No two properties will be alike; each residence will be individually designed by integrating the wealth of original features of the building with contemporary fixtures and fittings.
The wine is the “icing on the cake” for the discerning buyers of the residences at Chateau Les Carrasses. Owners will benefit from private wine cellaring, winemaker David Alcaraz reckons the Domaine will produce 40 to 50 cases of quality Boutique wines per property.
The Languedoc region is the largest producing wine region of France due to the unique soil and Mediterranean climate. Now a little more will be produced but only for a lucky few!
