The Story
Château de Caraguilhes is one of the long-established names of the Corbières, with the modern estate story often traced from 1958, when Lionel Faivre took charge and pushed the property towards organic growing well ahead of the curve. La Font Blanche is the estate’s white Corbières, built to show the brighter, more mineral side of this rugged southern landscape. In style, it feels Mediterranean but measured – plenty of fruit and texture, but with enough freshness to keep it elegant rather than weighty.
