Based in the heart of the Languedoc in Lezignan-Corbières, Domaines Auriol is a family-owned winery set up in 1995 by the formidable Claude Vialade. As the daughter of a former wine estate manager, wine has always been second nature to Claude from early days where she would follow her father around the vineyards as a child to becoming the Director of the AOC Corbières Syndicate. Today Domaines Auriol is a producer as well as a négociant who prides itself in its Occitan roots. Their Estates and Family brands are great examples of the best wines this part of the Languedoc has to offer.
Viticulture
The grape varieties are grown along the terraces of the Orbieu, in the heart of Languedoc, near the sea. The soils are limestone scree over clay.
