Our eco-responsible approach : Organic Wine

Organic Agriculture

Château Angueiroun is committed to an environmental approach. Indeed, it has been certified “Organic Farming” since 2020, ensuring the production of organic wine that respects the environment.

This prestigious label is, first and foremost, a voluntary approach. It guarantees that the agricultural practices implemented across the entire estate preserve ecosystems and minimize environmental pressures (soil, water, biodiversity, etc.). As a result, it allows for the production of an organic wine that is respectful of nature.

Organic certification, achieved through a long-term commitment, is underpinned by four pillars:

  • biodiversity preservation (insects, trees, hedges, grass strips, flowers, etc.);
  • plant health strategy;
  • fertilisation management;
  • irrigation management.

 

Wine artists

Creating great wines is, above all, a team effort. Throughout the year, our wine artists work with passion from the vineyard to the winery. Every step of the process, from harvest to fermentation, and finally to bottling, marks the rhythm of a year of creation. These essential steps prepare the new vintages, but it is during the blending that the true art of Château Angueiroun takes shape. Indeed, this is where the magic happens: the combination of various grape varieties, the blending of aromas, and the creation of wines with strong personalities. Like the Prestige La Londe rosé, with its pale pink hue, the quintessence of the Angueiroun terroir in a bottle. Or Enkhelis, an exceptional wine produced in very limited quantities, a remarkable wine of incomparable sensuality and finesse, making each sip a unique moment.

Under the direction of Éric Dumon, the Angueiroun family is made up of Matthieu Foulquier-Gazagnes, Operations Manager, Thomas Bonnet, the Belkhiri family from father to son, Jean-Philippe Lamothe, the estate’s ambassador and sales manager, and the administrative and sales team. What they all have in common is a love of this enchanting terroir, a respect for tradition and an open mind to the latest winemaking technologies, in order to always offer wines of impeccable quality.

Annual awards

Every year, Château Angueiroun enters several of its wines into France’s leading wine competitions: the Concours Général Agricole in Paris, the Concours des Grands Vins de France in Mâcon, the Concours des Vignerons Indépendant and the Concours des Vins de Provence.

Every year, several medals are added to an already extensive list of achievements. It was no different in 2023, with no fewer than 9 gold, silver and bronze medals awarded to the Réserve Rosé, Réserve White and Prestige La Londe Red.
