Château de Cazeneuve

3.3/5See 11 opinions

Located in the heart of the Pic St Loup appellation in the commune of Lauret, the vineyard of Château de Cazeneuve is an old building dating back to the 9th century. A privileged terroir in the northern Languedoc, the Pic Saint-Loup appellation benefits from a singular climate, both cooler and wetter, and is made up of mosaics of mainly clay-limestone soils. The vineyards are located in a natural cirque on the Causse de l'Hortus, with different exposures and three soil families: hard limestone, clay-limestone scree and soft limestone on marl.

Château de Cazeneuve was bought by André Leenhardt in 1987, and has undergone a number of restructurings over the years. Today, the vineyard covers 45 hectares and has been certified organic since 2010. Château de Cazeneuve is a family business, and is now in the hands of the second generation, in the person of Quentin Leenhardt. The estate's philosophy is to produce Pic Saint Loup wines with a strong identity. The wines of Château de Cazeneuve are the translation of the different terroirs, a leitmotiv in the choices of blending, vinification and ageing.

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