L'Oustal des Roumegueurs
In Barbaira, on the Toulouse-Narbonne route, L'Oustal des Roumégueurs occupies the first foothills of the Montagne d'Alaric, facing the Montagne Noire. The estate extends over 25 hectares of vines grown using organic farming, 13 kilometres from Carcassonne. Its name refers to the verb “rouméguer”, which means to grumble in southwestern France, and it appears on several cuvées.
Vine growing here is a matter of passing things on: the craft, the skills and the passion for cultivation have been carried on for several generations. Three winegrowers run the estate: Nicolas Fabre, Bastien Fabre and Jean-Marc Bergé. Their stated ambition is to work the grape varieties in the noblest way and to bring enthusiasts together in a convivial spirit, putting pleasure before prestige.
The vineyard brings together Carignan, Grenache, Cinsault, Syrah, Roussanne and Alicante. The grapes are hand-harvested in small crates, then vinified as whole bunches or destemmed depending on the vintage, using traditional and natural techniques; all the wines come under the IGP Aude Côteaux de Miramont.
The range comprises six cuvées. Les Roumégueurs blanc is a 100% Roussanne made by direct pressing. Le Pick & Go blends Grenache Noir and Syrah. Le Casque à Pointe brings together Cinsault, Alicante and Grenache for a short maceration. Les Roumégueurs rouge is a 100% Carignan, vinified as whole bunches and destemmed. Le Boudu, a destemmed old-vine Carignan, undergoes a long maceration and eight months' ageing in 400- and 500-litre barrels. Le Chemin des Combes, Syrah and Grenache, is aged for eight months in 500-litre barrels.
The tasting room, located on route de Narbonne, hosts wine tastings and the discovery of local products: saffron grown by the estate and fine-food derivatives, olive oil, honey and gourmet gift boxes.
