Cabardes Château des Saptes 1987
The 1987 Cabardes Château des Saptes is a red wine produced by Chateau des Saptes. The wine originates from the Cabardes area, located on the outskirts of Carcassonne, a historic site where wine production dates back to the Middle Ages. This wine holds the classification of Appellation d'Origine Vin Délimité de Qualité Supérieure.
Cabardes is situated within the Languedoc region, which stretches along the Mediterranean coast in southern France from the Rhône Valley to the Catalan border. Together with Roussillon, it forms the largest wine-producing region in France. The area benefits from a distinct Mediterranean climate, characterized by warm, dry summers, mild winters, and over 300 days of sunshine annually. The vineyards in this expansive region are planted on a diverse array of soils, ranging from limestone and clay to schist, granite, and gravel.
The composition of this wine reflects its geographical position by combining traditional Mediterranean varieties with classic Atlantic grapes. It is primarily based on Carignan, Grenache, Syrah, and Cinsault, which are widely cultivated across Southern France and the Rhône Valley. This Mediterranean foundation is complemented by the inclusion of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, two renowned grape varieties traditionally associated with the Bordeaux region.
The history of the wine
Below, you can delve into the history of this wine — its producer, grape, area, and region.
Languedoc
Languedoc lies along the Mediterranean coast in southern France from the Rhône Valley in the east to the Catalan border in the south and, together with Roussillon, forms France's largest wine region. The area contains 23 official AOCs, including Languedoc AOC, Corbières, Minervois, Saint-Chinian, Faugères, Picpoul de Pinet, as well as Limoux and Blanquette de Limoux for sparkling wines.
The climate is distinctly Mediterranean with warm dry summers, mild winters and over 300 days of sunshine a year, and the soils range from limestone and clay to slate, granite and gravel. The red wines are made predominantly from Syrah, Grenache, Carignan, Mourvèdre and Cinsault, while the whites are dominated by Picpoul, Grenache Blanc, Roussanne, Marsanne, Vermentino and Viognier. The style of the reds is typically spicy and full-bodied with ripe dark berries, garrigue herbs, liquorice, pepper and soft tannins, while the whites have citrus, peach, herbs and a saline minerality. The area is known as home to about a third of France's total wine production and holds the country's largest concentration of organic vineyards.
When this wine was made, the world looked very different. Here are some of the stories that unfolded while this bottle quietly aged in its cellar.
