Château Marco
【Limoux in a glass — all minerality and freshness】
Château Marco lies in a quiet corner of the Aude, at the foot of the Pyrenees, founded in the late 1970s by Marc Rességuié. A city boy captivated by France's back-to-the-land movement, Marc moved to the countryside and began farming and raising livestock with friends. They planted their first vines in 1983, and have farmed organically ever since.
The vineyards sit at 350 metres on hillsides looking out over green valleys, in a microclimate ideally suited to Mauzac, Chardonnay and Chenin. The wines Marc makes speak eloquently of Limoux, a region celebrated for sparkling wines that are mineral, fresh and full of life.
His Blanquette de Limoux and Crémant de Limoux both give a deep reading of their terroir, and carry a spirit of tradition and care for the environment. Every bottle holds real feeling for this land, and a great deal of patient handwork.
[Embodying the minerality and freshness of Limoux]
Located in a quiet corner of Aude, at the foot of the Pyrenees, Château Marco was founded in the late 1970s by Marc Leseny. Fascinated by the green revolution in France, Marc grew up in the city and moved to the countryside, where he and a group of friends began farming and raising livestock. They planted their first vines in 1983 and have continued to practice organic farming ever since.
The vineyards, set on a hillside at an altitude of 350m, overlook a lush valley and enjoy the ideal microclimate for Mauzac, Chardonnay and Chenin grape varieties. Marc produces wines that epitomise Limoux's fame for its mineral-rich, fresh and lively sparkling wines.
Both Blanquette de Limoux and Crémant de Limoux embody the deepest expression of the terroir and are imbued with a spirit of tradition and environmental conservation. Every bottle is imbued with a deep sense of land, passion and meticulous craftsmanship.
