Surrounded by an arid plateau & restricted to the south by a deep canyon, the Domaine Le Cazal is perched on the top of a hill which overhangs the Minervois slopes at the southern tip of the Herault (34).
It is on this chalky-clayey & stony land that the Derroja family have worked, since 1870, on their 18 hectares of vineyard which is classified as 100% AOC Minervois.
Tradition & passion, together with contempary concepts, are combined to produce the red wines, of which the principal denominators are :
« Respect » is the keyword of Martine & Claude, who manage the Domaine Le Cazal today, & who are the 5th generation of this family of winegrowers:
Respect for the environment & the consumer through «’Culture Raisonnée’ – a traceable, environmentally friendly method of winegrowing
Respect for our ancestors values by the daily implementation of their methods
Respect & training with regards to new technology.
It is with great pleasure that we welcome you to our cool wine cellar, which was the old wash house of the hamlet, or take a stroll through our vineyards where you will discover our art of winemaking & taste our wines.
You may also stay in one of our ‘gîtes’ (cottages) where you will be able to recharge your batteries in our haven of peace & share some moments with our family.
