Today, Jacques is sole master of the Estate, with 150 acres of vineyard and 40 acres of apple orchards. He is ably assisted by a dynamic and efficient team of young staff-members who all help make top quality wines for our customers.

The Estate In the second half of the 19th C, the Gau family left the Pyrenees for the more hospitable land of Languedoc. Pierre was the first to settle on the land here, and planted the first vines. From 1922 on, Alfred progressively improved the main winery and extended the vineyards. From 1950 on, Jean, further extended the vineyards and diversified production, planting apples and rice. He subsequently gave useful advice to Yves et Jacques, his sons, oenologist and agronomist respectively, who each in his own specialist area, have since helped modernise the Estate’s wine-growing techniques, wine-making and management.
