Created in the 19th century, this traditional winemaking estate was fully refurbished in 1996. 

The vineyards spread out on limestone-clay soils over around thirty-five hectares around the estate buildings, in the Aspres region to the south of Perpignan between sea and mountains, near Spain.

Chateau Montana use the eco-friendly vine-growing and tending techniques, which leave room for traditional methods and include shallow-ploughing between the vines. In respecting the environment,  yields are kept down anq quality up.
Next to the "classical" grape varieties that the growth within the Aoc aera ( Carignan, Grenache Blanc, Grenache Gris and Grenache Noir ), we tend improving varieties outside the appellation area that include Syrah and Mourvèdre as well as Merlot and Cabernet-Sauvignon.

Chateau Montana vinifies and matures our wines in their own cellars, keeping respect for wine tradition at the forefront of our actions.

The passion that motivates and the painstaking care takes over work on a daily basis, bring you cuvées that brim with finesse and subtlety and contained strength in turn.
