The name of the cartagène comes from the verb "cartager" that meant to plough the land 4 times. Indeed, the cartagène has to be prepared with a mix of 4 volumes of grapes for one volume of alcohol. This mistelle (wine made of unfermented grape-juice blended with alcohol) is to be drunk rather fresh as aperitif or with a foie gras. In 2001 it got the silver medal for the General Agricol competition. Alcohol abuse is bad for your health. Consume moderatly.  All the products of "Cave de Massillargues"
