Come and meet these passionate winegrowers to discover the flavours of the terroir through quality products.

Mayragues Castle, the beautiful story of a Historic Monument in the Tarn

The story begins in 1980 when the Geddes family recovered the ruins of the Château de Mayragues with the aim of promoting this incredible Tarn building. Founded in the 12th century, this old fortified house installed on a rocky spur was then restored and sublimated, preserving its unique architecture with its corbelled patrol path above a stone structure. Open for visits during the European Heritage Days weekend in September each year, the Château de Mayragues is an unmissable address when crossing the Tarn, an estate comprising 12 hectares of vines surrounded by 70 hectares of meadows, fields and groves. Take the time to admire the breathtaking view of the vines and the rolling landscapes, they will leave you breathless.

Château de Mayragues, biodynamic wines and vines in the Tarn

In love with their region and passionate about their profession, Anne and Duncan naturally turned to a production method in accordance with their value, that of respecting nature and the environment. Certified biodynamic by Demeter/Ecocert, the estate offers a beautiful expression of the terroir through quality wines resulting from plant, animal and mineral work. This natural approach helps maintain the life of the soil, at the same time promoting that of the plants. Red, white, rosé, orange, sweet or sparkling, each bottle of wine reflects their commitment, resulting from a 100% manual harvest to pick only the grapes at maturity. The vinification and aging are then done in the cellars according to very specific specifications, before bottling also carried out at the estate. Tasting and purchase, the Château de Mayragues welcomes you all year round to present its quality wines and leaves you amazed by the exterior of the château.

The little extra: The possibility of organizing private events in the heart of the property, and sleeping on site in one of the two guest rooms at Château de Mayragues.
