The Property

LE CLOS DE VIGNERNON is an elegant Wine Maker’s House built C. 1820 on the edge of the charming medieval village of Mirepeisset in the ancient region of Langquedoc. It is totally surrounded by walls with one double entrance gate which opens into the gravelled Cour, allowing for car parking on the property. One villa, LA FLEURIE, was built from the Barn, & and is totally independent with its own swimming pool. The other residence, Le Fitou, was converted from the Old Wine Cave, and is totally separate except for the shared-with-owners landscaped walled garden and pool.


Mirepeisset

Mirepeisset’s Medieval Ramparts & Gateway still remain, standing guard above the River Cesse; the Roman parentage of Mirepeisset also remains, including the Aqueduct & the surrounding vineyards of the Minervois, first cultivated by the Romans. In the ancient language of the Occitan, hence “Langue d’Oc”, Mirepeisset translates as “see the little fishes”.

Local Croissants

Mirepeisset has two restaurants & a small epicerie/boulangerie to pick up freshly baked croissants in the mornings as well as providing small provisions. Also within walking distance are another four restaurants. For more serious shopping, a Supermarket & petrol station are one mile away.


The River Cesse

The village is situated near the River Cesse, which in summer is dammed in order to create a pool for swimming. Nearby is a picnic area with tables and BBQs, tennis and basketball courts, a play area with swings, etc, and a pizza restaurant beside the Cesse. There is also a Riding Stable in the village.
