Domaine du Meteore is situated in the north of the Faugeres appellation, in the Languedoc, France. It is named after a 300 meter wide meteor which struck the hillside 10,000 years ago making a huge crater which the vines now grow in and around. The domaine benefits from a high altitude and schist soils which is rare in the region and gives the wines extra freshness and minerality.
