HISTORY OF THE ESTATE

La Bastide des Songes is a property which extends over a total area of ​​35 hectares located in the heart of the Hérault vineyards. While this family estate had already belonged to the Torquebiau wine-growing family for years, it was in 2003 that the estate was born with the inauguration of their wine cellar. Ambitious winegrowers who wish to free themselves from the constraints of AOCs, they have completely turned their vineyard upside down by replanting qualitative and atypical grape varieties for the region such as Cabernet Sauvignon , Syrah , Pinot Noir , Chardonnay or Gewurztraminer ! For lovers of atypical and daring wines , La Bastide des Songes is made for you!
