About the estate:

We are pleased to welcome Gilles Azam’s estate to our Guide. Located in the upper Aude Valley, in the town of Roquetaillade, it may well become the future communal cru of the Limoux region. For several years now, this production, centered around a few well-defined cuvées, has established itself as a valuable benchmark for the entire appellation. The result of careful viticulture, mindful of the value of the terroir and its historical roots, these wines possess a distinct character and consistently intense, fresh flavors that will blossom when exposed to air and paired with flavorful foods.
