Owned by the Boyer family, which has been making wines for five generations, Château de Caux-et-Sauzens is located a few minutes from Carcassonne, on the banks of the Canal du Midi. The château's wines, some of which are award-winning, are made from a variety of grape varieties that cover more than 86 hectares, including 22 hectares converted to organic farming. The AOP Malepère was awarded a gold medal at the 2019 International Wine Challenge, a silver medal at the 2019 Terre de Vins Competition and obtained 3 stars in the 2019 Hachette Wine Guide. Chardonnay and sauvignon produce the round and fruity Pays d'Oc whites, which won a gold medal at the 2018 Challenge International du Vin. The IGP Pays d'Oc red wines, also crowned with gold, are made from a blend of Cabernet Franc and Merlot, they highlight red fruit aromas and woody notes, which persist in the mouth, blending perfectly with meat and cheese. Rosé wines are also in the spotlight at the château, which produces PGIs also made from a blend of two grape varieties, cinsault and grenache, which give the wines fruity citrus aromas. To discover the estate and the secret of its wines, you can, in summer, take part in a visit to the winery or vineyards, which ends with a tasting of the best wines from Château de Caux-et-Sauzens.
