OUR PHILOSOPHY<\/b><\/h2>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][\/vc_column][vc_column][vc_column_text]The Ch\u00e2teau de Paraza comes back to life under the impetus of a family project. Within our family, all members, including parents and three children, are actively involved in working the vines. Since their first harvest in 2005, the estate has undergone remarkable development. By adopting a sustainable agriculture approach, by renewing plots, by acquiring new vats and a new press, as well as by establishing an aging cellar, we strive to magnify the Languedoc terroir and reflect our philosophy through our wines. Our goal is to reveal all the quintessence of this region and to transmit our unique vision through each bottle we produce.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

A UNIQUE TERROIR<\/b><\/h2>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20″][\/vc_column][vc_column][vc_column_text]Discover Minervois, one of the oldest Mediterranean vineyards. Our estate, located in the exceptional Minervois terroir called \u201cLes Serres\u201d, offers you a unique wine experience.<\/p>\n

Our vines flourish on clay-limestone soil dating from the Tertiary period, giving our wines incomparable richness and complexity. With an average age of 30 years, our vines express their full potential. But it is our old vines, over 50 years old, which give birth to our greatest wines.<\/p>\n

At the heart of our family estate, we put our passion and our know-how at the service of each cluster. Each member of our family plays an essential role in the creation of our exceptional wines.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

RESPECT\u00a0FOR OUR ENVIRONMENT<\/b><\/h2>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20″][\/vc_column][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

As wine-growers, we are very concerned by the respect for our environment, for our own health and also to maintain the richness of our soil which the quality of our wines depends on. As a result, we practice a reasoned agriculture, respectful of nature, with many practices similar to the organic approach. Everyday, we take care of our vines and watch its environment and the elements which could impact its growth. We intent to respect our terroir at most and to intervene the least possible, depending on climate conditions, risk of disease, and stage of growth of the vines.<\/p>\n

We are now certified High Environmental Value (Level 3)\"\"<\/p>\n
