Château Auzias Paretlongue

An old written document dating back to 416 AD, describes the existence of a beautiful Gallo-Roman villa. It was destroyed during the French Revolution; then the current Chateau Auzias was build early 19th century under the Napoleon Bonaparte Empire.

Since 1872, Léon and Emile Auzias developed an important wine sales distribution from the Languedoc to the East of France, and created the brand name and labels still used today by the estate.

In 1926, Eugène Auzias, as a visionary, was the first winemaker to plant Atlantic grape varieties in Languedoc (Cabernet Franc, Malbec, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon).  Today AOP Cabardès appellation, by law a minimum of 40% of Atlantic grapes in blends.

For more than 20 years, this family estate has been run by Dominique Auzias. Dominique is the famous founder of the Petit Futé Guides, the worldwide leader of travel books. Since he started to manage the family estate after 4 generations, he improved the quality and distribution. Chateau Auzias is now distributed in more than 30 countries.

The Cabardès terroir benefits from an exceptional micro-climate influenced by Western and Eastern winds.

It is the only terroir of France that allows optimal conditions for the culture of both Atlantic and Mediterranean grape varieties.

As a result, Chateau Auzias produces incomparable wines which combine the richness of the Languedoc with the finesse of Bordeaux wines.
