Château Marco
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.
