Feudal castle and domain of the western Biterrois, with a vineyard of 25 hectares spread around, the cellar can be visited all year long
The Domaine Perdiguier is the last feudal castle in western Biterrois. Shortly after its construction in 1280, the Bastide was acquired by King Philip IV Le Bel of France, then ceded by Charles V of France to his clerk and treasurer general "de la Langue d'Oc": Jean de Perdiguier. The latter undertakes the extension of the building. The main building, flanked by round towers, forms, with the wings, a vast quadrilateral arranged around an inner courtyard, in the heart of the estate which has kept its agricultural vocation from the very beginning. The 25-hectare vineyard, spread around the château and cultivated by the Feracci family, is today composed of Cabernet Franc, Grenache, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay on the clay-limestone slopes; Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. The winery can be visited and is open to the public throughout the year for wine tasting and sale. The estate cultivates a close link with the arts, be it in the winery, on the barrels painted by artists of the Société des Beaux-Arts, on the labels signed Pierre Cornudet or Plantu, and through cultural events and manifestations. Thus in 2014 Plantu, famous for its daily press cartoons on the front page of Le Monde newspaper, created the new label that adorns the bottles of the cuvée Les Filles de Perdiguier.
