A Historic Winery in the Heart of Minervois

Château de Gourgazaud: A Rich Heritage

Château de Gourgazaud is nestled in the picturesque South of France, surrounded by the Montagne Noire in the Minervois hills. Spanning over 170 hectares, this estate dedicates 100 hectares to the production of AOC red and white wines. Locally, it is affectionately known as “Petit Causse.”

Pioneering Varietals in Minervois

The winery's history dates back to 1870 when Ernest Piquet introduced wine production to the region. His son, Marcel, continued this legacy, and in 1973, Marcel’s grandson, Roger Piquet, expanded the estate to 100 hectares. Roger was a trailblazer, being the first to plant Syrah and Mourvèdre grapes in Minervois. His commitment to low pruning, green grape thinning, and small yields led to the creation of exceptional wines. Today, Roger’s daughter, Chantale Piquet, and granddaughter, Annick Tiburce, carry on the family tradition. Their exclusive collection features Quintus Quintus, a remarkable red wine.

Wine Tasting Experience

Château de Gourgazaud produces a limited quantity of wine, which is exported to select markets outside France. The wines are characterized by vibrant notes of mushrooms, berries, and fresh herbs, making them perfect companions for grilled meats, barbecues, cheeses, and pizza. If you find yourself in the Minervois region, a guided tour of this winery offers a delightful opportunity for wine tasting.
