DOMAINE LES CAIZERGUES

Vins authentiques des Terrasses du Larzac

The Estate

Located in the foothills of the Cevennes to the north of the city of Montpellier in the South of France, the vineyard benefits from having both a warm, sunny Mediterranean climate and an elevated position. This means there are distinct differences between the average temperatures experienced during the day and those at night. This phenomenon makes for wonderfully expressive wines that ooze a delightful freshness. 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 entrepeneurs, 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.
