History
The village of Lezan , known since the Romans , get organized really soon as a fortified market town.
The castle-which makes the place of the village so attractive- was for a long time , the property of the Claris family , whose owner escaped from Fort Vauban of Alès , during the Camisards War.
Come to more quiet times , Lézan greet a rural population , living of breeding and varied cultivations , whose jewel is the breeding of silk worm. The opening of the Suez canal ruin little by little this industry and vine become a dominant activity , which organize iself as a mutual insurance company under the form of a cave to whom most of the Lézan wine grower take part in.
We will have to wait half a century to see the foundations of our vineyard become established : the traditionnal varieties of wine make way for more noble varieties.
Later , les Vignerons de Lézan optimize their vinification , by equiping themselves with state-of-art equipment , ensuring mastery of all the steps of a controled fermentation.
To diversity of soils and the sunshine which characterize Cévennian doors , les Vignerons de Lézan add passion of well done work that results from an ancient tradition.
Cartagène , regional Speciality
The Languedoc , as ancient as envied for its sunny place , has the privilege to be the oldest soil.
Cartaginian , Phoenician , had planted the first vineyards before the Greeks colonized the all mediterranean shore.
The Cartagène , the fruit of the change of Languedoc brandy into must of grape. The selected alcohol will prevent any fermentation of the must in the oak barrels. The quality of the Cartagène product depends on it.
Tradition
Our grand-fathers took pleasure to secretly develop in their wine cellar , this drink they were watching a vigilant eye , leaving Time prepare with passion that concoction. Emotion was coming when , at last , they were savouring and comparing each other production with their friends. Served fresh in entrée , our Cartagène wants to keep for you these same motivations. Consumed by tradition in entry or in dessert (chilled at 5° or 6° C) , its subtlety and the characteristic bouquet of its soil , allow it to serve with melons , strawberries or foie gras.
To savour fresh and in moderation.
