CH\u00c2TEAU LA CARDONNE<\/h2>\n

Our wines bear fruit of a unique terroir that generously offers both authenticity and complexity. A true respect for the vines and the soil, coupled with the alliance of tradition and modernity in how we work, and our constant search for optimising what mother nature delivers, allows us to consistently produce the most enjoyable wine that is true to it\u2019s origins.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re fortunate to have a wonderful team of women and men with years and years of experience. They are dedicated and meticulous in their work, and although primarily focused on the present, they are always projecting well into future. It\u2019s an important aspect of our work, when the wines we produce require time to mature, and may reach their pinnacle in 10-20 years time.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_height=”yes” equal_height=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1572441353403{background-image: url(https:\/\/chateaulacardonne.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/bg-6.jpg?id=24) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}” el_class=”vc_row_slider”][vc_column css_animation=”fadeInUp”][vc_column_text]\n

A PASSIONATE TEAM<\/h2>\n

“We are only musicians playing to a loving audience, with mother nature the conductor, and our terroir being the composer producing a different arrangement year on year.<\/em><\/p>\n

There are vintages of chamber music and vintages of symphony music.<\/em><\/p>\n

We have an original score to play each year and our orchestra interprets it whilst respecting the work of the composer, and also contributing to create a style that can be associated uniquely to us.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
