Standing on one of the foothills within Karantes you can see in one direction the Mediterranean which brings gentle sea breezes that blow over the vines. In the other direction, you can see the famous Clape Mountain for which the region is named. Farther in the distance you can see the Pyrenees Mountains with its snow capped peaks. Enjoy this wine with light meals or on its own, and imagine yourself lost in this French paradise.
