CHATEAU DES HOSPICES DE CANET

In the heart of the village of Canet en Roussillon, Marc represents the fifth generation of winegrowers who have succeeded one another on the estate since 1936. Today, two generations represented by Michel the father and Marc the son work hard to work on a daily basis. 50 hectares of vines that make up the estate.
In the heart of Canet village, the estate's cellar is housed in a marvelous building dating from 1863 which is one of the oldest in the village. This building was bought in 1968 by Louis Benassis at the Hospital of Perpignan from where it takes its name of "Cave des Hospices". The architecture of this building is in a pure Catalan style of the time with Cayroux and rolled pebble walls as well as reed ceilings.
The vineyard is located on the Têt terraces, between the Catalan coast and Perpignan. The marriage between the Mediterranean climate and the very stony clay-limestone soils gives our wines a strong typicity.
