The Domaine Grand Guilhem is an organic wine producing property of 12 hectares with a large 19th century house and outbuildings. It lies just above the minute wine producing village of Cascastel which is situated in the Fitou area of Southern France. This is in the region known popularly as Cathar country. It is 25 kilometres from the Mediterranean and the beaches, 30 kilometres south of Narbonne, 40 kilometres north of Perpignan and 40 kilometres south east of Carcassonne.

The main house – “Family mansion” – is built of local stone and its green shutters open onto a typical Mediterranean view with the Roman tiled roofs of Cascastel, the Garrigue and the vineyards which are planted with 60 year old Carignan, Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, Muscat and Maccabeau varieties of vine plants.
The architecture is of a Languedocian Vigneron’s house of the period but with some special details – the arched windows, ironwork balconies, originally from the Château of Cascastel, and stained glass windows – which give a unique flavour to the building. The rooms are spacious, the tiled floors and mosaics are original, the walls are ochre and together give a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
