The vineyards of Château Bousquette are situated on the flanks of a valley, above the Orb river and the town of Cessenon, 15 km north/west of the City of Béziers in the South of France.

The stony, clay and limestone slopes of the vineyards are within the "Appellation Contrôlée (AOC)" of Saint-Chinian.

The 25 hectares of vines are surrounded by the "Garrigue" wilderness, which greatly helps to keep the vines within the norms of biological cultivation. The vineyeards are located between 100 and 150 m above sea level and the vines are pruned according to traditional methods (called "en cordon de Royat") and "en gobelet" for the Carignan.
