Domaine de Cazaban

3.8/5See all 32 reviews

Founded in 2007 , the Cazaban estate is located just outside Carcassonne, on the southern slope of the Montagne Noire. Situated in the heart of the Cabardès appellation—a unique appellation in the Languedoc region— Cazaban has been certified organic by Ecocert since 2010 and biodynamic by Demeter since 2013. In 2017, it was taken over by Emmanuel Taillez and Joseph Parcé (Domaine de la Préceptorie), and is now managed solely by Emmanuel Taillez.

The Cazaban estate spans 22 hectares of vineyards across three distinct terroirs: the Cazaban Plain, with clay-limestone soil; the foothills of the Montagne Noire, with calcareous schist and schist; and the western Minervois, with clay-limestone soil. The somewhat unique Cabardès appellation is located in western Languedoc, benefiting from both oceanic and Mediterranean influences, where the traditional Languedoc grape varieties—Grenache, Carignan, Syrah, and Mourvèdre—thrive, as well as a significant proportion of Bordeaux varieties such as Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Cabernet Sauvignon.
