Located in Rivesaltes, in the heart of Roussillon between the Pyrenees and the Mediterranean Sea, Maison CAZES was founded in 1895 by Michel Cazes.
The 220-hectare estate is ideally situated on land at the foot of the Corbières foothills, in the Agly Valley.
The predominantly clay-limestone soils are strewn with schist fragments and siliceous pebbles, a combination exceptionally well suited to producing great wines.
Domaine Cazes celebrates 25 years since its conversion to biodynamic farming.

The tasting
Appearance: Seven years in wood have given its bright, luminous colour mahogany tones: a blend of orange, red and copper hues.
Nose: An intense nose combining spices, coffee and cocoa with the sweetness of candied fruit. Complex aromas of walnut, caramel and roasted notes rise from the glass.
Palate: Roasted flavours unfold on the palate, from ganache to coffee liqueur, with notes of prune. Roundness, ripe fruit, a hint of dried fruit, and smoky notes of tobacco and roasting. A long finish that fades with freshness.
