Quaint
charm, Warmth and Gastronomy
Let
Laure introduce you briefly to the estate:
|
|
Blancardy
first started as a fortified farm in the 12th century and today, the thickness
of its walls still provides a wonderful feeling of comfort and reassurance further
enhanced by the 865 acres of serene greenery in which it is nestled. Surrounded
by vineyards, close to the Southern city of Montpellier, the farm stands midway
between the seashore and the mountains, at the border of Herault and Gard and
offers peace and tranquillity.
The
estate is first and foremost a winery and Alain will be delighted to help you
discover the wines and the cartagene that he produces
and bottles on the property.
Wine,
however is only one of the wonderful treats that can be sampled here. I had
always been fascinated by my grandmother's cooking and decided to follow suit.
This is how our canning operation first started,
followed soon by the opening of an inn where our regional
delicacies mostly based on duck - foie gras and preserved meats await your enjoyment.
Let the site bewitch
you. Why leave so soon? A leisurely walk on the property's paths may delay your
departure for a while but, you may consider staying a night or two… in our "chambre
d'hôtes" (bed and breakfast) or the "gîte de séjour"
(guest house).
But before you leave,
make sure you bring home a memento of your visit and stop at our shop
located in an old cellar, where a full selection of our wines and specialties
is there for your choosing.
We
hope we will make you share our passion for all the wonders of our region.
See you soon,
|
Laure
