About Mont Tauch

Set in the Languedoc 's dramatic landscape of picturesque hills and Cathar castles, Mont Tauch is one of France 's leading wine cooperatives, based in the heart of the Fitou appellation in the south west of France. The cooperative was formed in 1913 and has a worldwide reputation for producing high quality wine.

With its 300 members, Mont Tauch produces 12 million bottles of Fitou, Corbières, Vin de pays du Torgan, Vin de Pays de la Vallée du Paradis, Muscat de Rivesaltes and Rivesaltes.

Mont Tauch covers 1950 hectares made up of 7,000 small vineyards dotted around the villages of Tuchan, Paziols, Villeneuve and Durban. Each village is recognised for its specific terroir and for the character of its wines.

Named after the mountain, which towers above the cooperative's smart new winery , Mont Tauch is surrounded by wild garrigue - the Mediterranean terrain rich with the scent of thyme, rosemary, lavender and juniper.

Mont Tauch's wines are a genuine expression of this terroir, which has been shared for centuries by the vignerons and the many wild boar that roam the hills of Fitou, gorging themselves on the grapes and gnawing at the vine shoots. Indeed, the wild boar is used as the Mont Tauch logo. It is not surprising that boar hunting, along with rugby, is one of the region's most passionately pursued sports; and nothing washes down a wild boar casserole or saucisson better than a satisfying glass of Mont Tauch Fitou.
