Historic 68 Hectare Wine Estate With Hospitality Activities

LOCATION

Located near Pézenas, between the Mediterranean Sea and the first foothills of the Cévennes, the estate enjoys a renowned wine-growing environment and open views over the surrounding hillsides.

The origins of the site are believed to date back to the Gallo-Roman period. The property runs alongside the famous Via Domitia, the Roman road that once linked Italy to Spain, bearing witness to the ancient history of the estate. A former stop on the pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela, the property is rooted in a terroir shaped by centuries of history.
