Niek Beute will guide you on 21 January take you into the story of Domaine Preignes le Vieux.

About Domaine Preignes le Vieux

Domaine Preignes le Vieux is a wine estate in Languedoc, where Jérôme Vic and his wife Aurélie are the fifth generation to rule the roost. Some 200 hectares of land, including 160 hectares of vineyards stretches around the château of Preignes le Vieux. Remains of Roman structures, including amphorae for wine, have been found under the 1202 castle. Proof that wine was already being made in classical antiquity in this special place!

Inspired by the ancient culture and rugged land of Languedoc, Preignes le Vieux's wines are first and foremost about pleasure. Pleasant wines at pleasant prices. Fresh, light wines, some great rosés for long summer evenings. And red wines with personality and distinctive charm.
