DOMAINE LES CAIZERGUES

Vins authentiques des Terrasses du Larzac

The Estate

Domaine les Caizergues sits in the foothills of the Cevennes to the north of the city of Montpellier in the South of France. All our vines grow at an altitude of at least 160m and this elevated position - allied to the wonderfully warm sunny climate - means that there are marked differences between the diurnal and nocturnal temperatures during the growing season. This phenomenon allows our grapes to mature slowly and gently resulting in highly expressive wines that ooze a delightful freshness. Our soil is either clay limestone or distinctly pebbly. We are all particularly proud of the estate's heritage both as a wine producer and as a centre for silk production during the golden age of sericulture in the region. The names of the wines and the branding all bear witness to this.

A new chapter, a new philosophy

2017 marked an important new chapter in the estate’s history. In August 2017 two ambitious British wine enthusiasts, Bob and Pat Middleton, bought the vineyard with a view to further developing its potential. They have set about introducing more modern and more environmentally-friendly viticultural and vinicultural practices to the estate, whilst ever mindful of the importance of remaining true to its heritage and terroir. The estate was formally accredited organic by Ecocert, in 2021.
