The Experience
This fine old domaine sits along a narrow road that winds through the Minervois vineyards with dreamy views stretching to the distant hills of the Aude. The little hamlet consists of the winery, barns, cave à vin and separate houses with colourful shutters – an ancient pigeonnier and a fine manor house. Spread out between the two – both have large, light living rooms, plenty of seating, very well equipped kitchens, and tables inside and out for 20.
Come together in the delightful olive-filled garden; splash in the pools (one is smaller and shallower), laze on loungers, barbecue by the outdoor kitchen, eat at the wooden table on the covered patio; play pétanque, ping-pong or bowls. Bikes can be hired and brought to the house, Thomas can offer you wine tastings and Carcassonne is just along the pretty towpath.
Visit wonderful markets, pedal through vines, fall asleep listening to the wind in the trees and chirruping cicadas.

Location
The neighbourhood
Trèbes is 5km and has a market on a Sunday morning as well as restaurants ranging from pizza to fine cuisine. Carcassonne is 10km, a delightful hilltop town with a medieval citadel, La Cité, with watchtowers and double-walled fortifications. You'll also find shops, plenty of good places to eat and an interesting museum. Bibliophiles and art lovers will head to Montolieu – the book and art village.
Local points of interest from Thomas Sananes
- The enchanting Cité de Carcassonne is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. With its château comtal, two walls and 52 towers, it floats above the Aude River, the vineyards and the town and seems to have sprung from the imagination.
- Four royal fortresses join forces on the long, arid ridge overlooking the village of Lastours. On this unique site, the history of Bronze Age man intersects with that of the Cathars, villagers, craftsmen, farmers... all seeking protection on this mountain.
- The Lac de la Cavayère and the Raymond Chésa leisure complex are close to the Cité Médiévale. You’ll find picnic areas, pedalos, inflatable water games, a waterski lift, paddleboat hire, several beach volleyball courts and a forest acrobatic park.
- The Chalet Beach in Gruissan was made famous by the film ‘37°2 le matin’ (Betty Blue). An iconic site in the Aude, the houses on stilts are a real curiosity where you can recharge your batteries. There's plenty to do here, from swimming to paddle-boarding.
- The Aude is a region renowned for its gastronomy and the richness of its terroir – it’s the land of "living well" and "eating well". On the menu: the famous Castelnaudary cassoulet, truffles and olives, chocolate, Blanquette and many other tasty products!
- You can't visit the Occitanie region without visiting the Cathar fortresses! Perched on rocky outcrops several hundred metres high in a spectacular natural setting, they are the very essence of the Cathar countryside. The experience is unforgettable!

Introducing
Thomas Sananes
Thomas fell in love with the Domaine and moved here with his wife and two boys. He spent a year studying wine before throwing himself passionately into all stages of winemaking, using beautiful clay amphores and stoneware barrels for ageing. He's also a keen photographer (you'll see some of his pictures on the walls) and motorbike rider and has an amazing sound system in his cave à vin.
I was delighted to meet Thomas, enjoy his enthusiasm over this new way of life, and of course to taste his delicious wine. A perfect place for a real holiday, with space and comfort for all. The houses feel so friendly, I can well imagine staying happily here and enjoying long peaceful days.
