Description
Imagine a steep hill, plunging into the Mediterranean Sea, where nature and people have worked in harmony for centuries. Here we are!
In the middle of The Clape Massif overlooking the shores, Château Ricardelle has radiated for more than six centuries by combining land, sea, winds and sun.
It is the providential meeting of a terroir, La Clape, the island of great wines and an ancestral know-how initiated and orchestrated by the Romans and now cultivated and perpetuated by our hands.
Château Ricardelle wines are now at the forefront of the demands of consumers and connoisseurs of great local wines. The optimal search for the natural expression of our terroir is our philosophy, advantaged by a traditional culture reasoned with the utmost respect for the environment and embellished with a multitude of grape varieties for virtuous blends.
We will be delighted to welcome you on a visit to our estate to introduce you to the history of our estate, the work done in the vineyards, the stages of the process of making our wines followed by a tasting of several of our vintages.
Looking forward to welcoming you

A history-laden past... In this region of Languedoc, the history of the vineyard merges with the ancient epics whispered in the Greek amphoras dated to the 6th century BC... Ricardelle, a legendary name, a prestigious anteriority, the coat of arms of a province. In 1342, the Narbonne archives mention the existence of Château Ricardelle. In 1696, the notarial deed, meaning the acquisition of Château Ricardelle in favour of the Duke of Fleury, a peer of France, mentions the vineyards in the property's land heritage. The new affiliation of Coteaux wines from Languedoc La Clape within the family of Wines of Higher Quality is formalized by decree in 1951. This is followed by 1985 with wines from the Clape consecrated by the decree of 24 December granting them the supreme distinction, the controlled appellation. Finally, last step and not least, June 9, 2015, La Clape becomes a communal appellation in its own right. Bruno Pellegrini, since 1990 owner of Château Ricardelle, commits all his passion to restoring the credit of these wines of the Clape with impressive quality potential and this with great success for Château Ricardelle.
