A Rich Heritage of Winemaking and Land Stewardship in Languedoc-Roussillon
The Ancient History of Château Bas d’Aumelas
Château Bas d’Aumelas has a storied past that dates back to the 14th century. Following the devastation of the Hundred Years War, Aumelas Castle fell into disrepair and became uninhabitable. In 1595, Monsieur Bonnet made the decision to relocate to Château Bas, marking the beginning of a new chapter for the estate.
From Pastoral Roots to a Renowned Winery
Initially, the Château focused on pastoral activities, with grape-growing and farming taking place on nearby hillsides. The lord of Château Bas invested significantly in the property, transforming it into a picturesque castle adorned with two round towers and various outbuildings. The Albeniz family has owned the Château for over three centuries, with Jean-Philippe and Geoffroy d’Albenas now dedicating their efforts to winemaking. A highlight of the estate is its beautifully designed French garden, available for seminars and weddings.
Organic Grapegrowing Practices
Spanning 16 hectares, the vineyard at Château Bas d’Aumelas is cultivated using organic methods, free from chemicals. The estate prioritizes biodiversity, with surrounding woods and scrubland fostering a healthy microfauna that supports vine health. After 30 years of dormancy, a new cellar was constructed, blending traditional techniques with modern innovations to enhance the extraction of grape aromas. Today, Château Bas d’Aumelas produces a selection of seven cuvées, showcasing the unique terroir of the region. The D’Albenas brothers invite visitors to tour the winery and sample their exceptional wines.
