Bienvenue au Château Coujan
In the heart of the Languedoc hinterland, a few kilometers from Murviel-lès-Béziers, are the lands of Château Coujan and its wines classified as AOP Saint-Chinian.
Five generations of winegrowers have made this area an authentic place now focused on organic cultivation and product diversification.
Florence welcomes you there for a tasting while telling you the story of this exceptional terroir.
A winegrower and her terroir
Attentive to the environment and respectful of the land of her ancestors, Florence Guy follows in her parents' footsteps by preserving their know-how and their love of a job well done. She knew how to bring all the necessary modernity, to impose her personal touch, in particular by the passage in organic culture from 2008. These lands are her roots.
Just like François Guy, who has never ceased to move forward by devoting his life to his vineyard, his daughter makes each cuvée inspired by this place steeped in history and charm. The result: wines made from quality grape varieties, full of elegance and finesse which unfold their subtlety in the hollow of a unique and privileged terroir.
Our wines
Over time, Château Coujan's 50 hectares of vineyards have been planted with a wide variety of grape varieties, allowing us to fully express the personality of this exceptional terroir in our wines.
