A Canal du Midi estate for context, not collector theatre

The strongest reason to go is place. Domaine Lalande sits in Pennautier, near Carcassonne, with a vineyard setting alongside the Canal du Midi. That gives the estate a clear regional frame: historic Languedoc countryside, vines, a quiet rural mood.
