Château de Cazeneuve

3.6/5See all 14 reviews

Located in the heart of the Pic St Loup appellation in the town of Lauret, the vineyard of the Cazeneuve Castle is an old building dating back to the 9th century. A prized terroir in northern Languedoc, the Pic Saint-Loup appellation enjoys a unique climate—both cooler and wetter—and consists of a mosaic of soils that are primarily clay-limestone. The vineyard is situated in a natural cirque nestled against the Causse de l’Hortus, with varied exposures, and comprises three soil types: hard limestone, clay-limestone scree, and soft limestone over marl.

Château de Cazeneuve was purchased in 1987 by André Leenhardt and has undergone restructuring over the years. Its vineyard now spans 45 hectares and has been certified organic since 2010. Château de Cazeneuve is a family-run estate, now in the hands of the second generation, represented by Quentin Leenhardt. The estate’s philosophy is to produce Pic Saint Loup wines with a strong identity. The wines of Château de Cazeneuve reflect the diverse terroirs, a guiding principle in the choices made regarding blends, winemaking, and aging.

The decision was made to produce exclusively in Pic Saint Loup, thus combining the following grape varieties: Syrah, Grenache, Mourvèdre, Carignan, and Cinsault. The white vineyard allows us to produce Languedoc wines from the following grape varieties: Roussanne, Marsanne, Grenache Blanc, Vermentino, and Viognier.
