“La Campagne” is a traditional word used in French to designate wineries located in faraway areas, deep in the heart of the countryside. You can find many of them in the Languedoc, which has a rich history of winemaking. “La Campagne” is the culmination of 20 years of excellence in winegrowing and winemaking in the South of France. The brand is focused on old vines, grown in low-yield plots, in the dry and warm Mediterranean Climate. Nutrient-poor soil, low rainfall and blazing sun tend to stress the vines, resulting on healthy berries, with a great concentration of colour, aromas and flavours. The resulting wines are naturally intense, well-structured and complex.
