Lu Xilong pays tribute to poetry and time.

Lu Xilong pays tribute to poetry and time 🇫🇷 Roussillon is located in the south of France, with a typical Mediterranean climate, 320 days of abundant sunshine, diverse soil structure, and the coexistence of mountains and seas, giving the grapes unique vitality and flavor. With its unique terroir, suitable climate and profound cultural heritage, Rouxilong has produced a series of excellent wines. ⛰️ Facing the Mediterranean Sea to the east and surrounded by mountains on three sides, the unique geographical environment brings rich soil and geological environment to Rouxilong. The soil here is rich in minerals, especially iron. The special flavor of the local Mediterranean shrubs (garrigue) mixed with grapes gives the wines produced here a unique flavor style. 🍇 The wine culture here has a long history, and many grapevines are 120 years old. Natural sweet wine (VDN) is a major feature of Roussillon. This wine is brewed using the interrupted fermentation method, which retains the natural sugar content of the wine and gives it a sweet and unique taste. 🏯 Taste the fine Roussillon wines from three wineries at the CHÂTEAU DE L'OU winery. Rows of colorful glass bottles of different shapes at the entrance of the winery reflect colorful lights under the afterglow of the setting sun. Strolling through the pine forest of the winery, the towering pine trees playfully drop a few pine cones larger than the palm of your hand from time to time. This "interaction" full of surprises in nature is a romantic moment worth remembering. 🏜 As the sun sets, the golden afterglow envelopes the winery, making it quiet and peaceful. The giant clouds in the afterglow change their shapes all the time. While sipping wine, you can enjoy the magical beauty of nature and taste the special French charcoal barbecue. It’s so relaxing! The chargrilled French escargots were a surprise and awe-inspiring. 🏰 CHÂTEAU DE L'OU The winery was built brick by brick by founders Séverine and Philippe Bourrier, paying attention to details and always adhering to the concept of "hand-made" wine. Every drop of fine wine carries the founder’s persistence and dream. The winery has vast vineyards and a long history of winemaking. The architectural style is simple and elegant, full of historical charm. The winery covers an area of ​​65 hectares and has vineyards with diverse landforms and soils, all managed through organic agriculture.
