Spanning 17 hectares across five communes—Jonquières, Saint-André, Lagamas, Saint-Saturnin, and Montpeyroux—the estate benefits from diverse microclimates and soil types. Chabanon transitioned to organic farming in 2002, earning Ecocert certification, and further embraced biodynamic practices in 2011 with Demeter certification. The estate is renowned for producing wines with impressive aging potential, reflecting a commitment to natural viticulture and minimal intervention winemaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eProducer and Winemaker\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eAlain Chabanon, the founder and winemaker of Domaine Alain Chabanon, has dedicated over three decades to crafting wines that express the unique terroir of the Languedoc region.

Upon arrival at the winery, the grapes undergo hand sorting before being gravity-fed into vats without the addition of commercial yeasts. Traditional vinification involves alternating cap immersion and pumping over, with maceration lasting four to five weeks to extract optimal color, flavor, and tannins. Pneumatic pressing follows fermentation. The wine is then matured for 10 months in stainless steel vats to preserve its fresh and fruity character. Bottling occurs in July, with the 2020 vintage yielding approximately 16,500 bottles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eABV (Alcohol by Volume)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e13.5%\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThe 2020 Campredon presents a vibrant ruby hue.
