Ch Segur

Fitou is one of the oldest vineyards in France. Wine was first made here by colonists from ancient Greece and later by Romans. As it was then and still is today, the business of Fitou is wine. Now, tractors and truckloads of wine traverse this rugged section of LanguedocRoussillon, where once Roman chariots rumbled past this tiny village on the ancient Via Domitia that connected Spain and Rome. Built on a rocky escarpment above the village of Tuchan, the 11th Century Château de Segure was once controlled by the Cistercian Abbey de Fontefroide in Corbières, for which it supplied its highly-regarded wines. Now farmed by sustainable methods, its wine is a classic blend of Carignan, Grenache and Syrah.
