Ch. La Négly

Ch. La Négly is located in the massif of the La Clape region of Languedoc, overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, and its unique geographical conditions give rise to a unique chemistry of elements. In this sun-drenched land, influenced by the Tramontane (northwest wind) and the sea spray from the sea, the grapes, drenched in golden sunlight, ripen slowly, absorbing the perfect benefits that nature has to offer.

Ch. La Négly's jewels are created with skill and patience handed down traditionally from ancestors, based on a terroir made up of alluvial soil from the sea. Since the 18th century, wine has been made under the name Négly. The name was used in 1781, and it finally took on the name Négly in 1807. After working through several leading winemakers, the current “Languedoc Premium Wine” was created.

Philosophy

This special soil, located on a hill near the sea, has a large daily temperature change compared to other vineyards located inland, and is influenced by the sea breeze, creating perfect ripening of the grapes. The strong, dry Tramontane wind adds to the effect, preventing pests and diseases, keeping the grapes fresh and fresh. It has become a very powerful advantage in maintaining elegance.
