Malpère
This "appellation
d'origine" of Malpere is the most Western of the Languedoc,
built on the plains and hills that are bordered by a large
massif that forms a trapezium- La Malpère. In Occitan, one
speaks of " Male
Peyre" , a poor
quality stone when used for building purposes. These rocks
suffer badly from erosion and structural changes. The old
houses, churches and sculptures made from these rocks have
become very smooth over the decades, from Montréal to
Carcassonne.
31 communes are to be found in Malpere, in the West of the
Aude, of which Carcassonne belongs, that are grouped around
the Malpère mountains and they share the same appellation.
The Grapes to be found in Malpere are the blends of the
South West - Merlot and
Cabernet - as well as
the Grenache Noir and
Cinsault.
These Grands Vins Côtes
de Malepère ,
grown under the protection and shelter of the
massif,combine strength ,softness, flavours of red fruits.
undertones of spices and vanilla.

Domaine Boyer St Pierre
Jean Paul Boyer
took over the running of the family Domaine in Malpere more
than 10 years ago. Utilising his training and knowledge, he
added a scientific methodology to his wine making, mixed
with patience and passion . Web-site http://boyer-st-pierre.vins-malepere.com
Château de Cointes
The
first owners of the Château, André and Jean Cointes, a
Councillor of Carcassonne in 1646, gave their name to the
Domaine and their wines in Malpere.
In 1987, Francois and Anne Gorostis took over the Domaine
as their family home. With their passion for good quality
wine, they have strived to offer exceptional quality, in
keeping with traditions of the original owners.
