St Thibery village is surrounded by stunning countryside. Vineyards stretch as far as the eye can see, disrupted occasionally by fields with wild flowers, sunflowers, poppies, wheat or small forests.
The Rivers Herault and Thongue wind through this wonderful landscape and Mount Ramus, the volcano, is well worth a climb. From it's top are fantastic views of the Languedoc and Midi, Pyrenees mountains, the Mediterranean Sea and Spain.
St Thibery Wine... This is a wine growing village surrounded by vineyards. The balmy Mediterranean weather is ideal for growing grapes. There are several wine producers in the area as well as a co-op. One of the wines known as "Les Vins de Cessero" is called after the town's old Celtic name Cessero! St Thibery registered the AOC (Appellation d’origine contrôlée) on the label of the vintage 2011.
AOC (Appellation d’origine contrôlée): This refers to the unique combination of natural factors associated with any particular vineyard. It includes such factors as soil, underlying rock, altitude, slope of hill or terrain, orientation toward the sun, and microclimate (typical rain, winds, humidity, temperature variations, etc.). Even in the same area, no two vineyards have exactly the same terroir.
