Winemaking

The wines are made by top winemaker Jean Pierre Biard. He combines tradition with todays techniques. The use of temperature controlled tanks and top quality winebarrels are standard at Château de l’Horte. Grapes are handpicked and strictly selected, by this only the best of the best ends up bottled. For some of the AOC wines there are brand new oakwoorden winebarrels used, which are made from the best kinds of oakwood from several French districts. The top quality barrels are manufactured in the Bourgogne and hold 225 litres, 400 litres and 600 litres each. The same wine is used for each barrel, but because of the influence of different capacity measures, all three wines taste differently from one another. These wines are then blended in certain proportions. This way of winemaking is unique in the Languedoc.
