History of the estate

The Aupilhac estate is located in Montpeyroux, about thirty kilometers north of Montpellier. It is a family estate and Sylvain is the 5th generation to cultivate these vines. The estate has terraced plots on the place called “Aupilhac” and plots higher up on the “Cocolalières” site. Its terroir and its climate at the foot of the Plateau du Larzac, allow Domaine Aupilhac to offer wines which will have, thanks to the altitude, higher acidity/alcohol balances, as well as fresher aromas. The estate practices organic and biodynamic farming (Ecocert and Demeter certification) and offers us superbly crafted vintages, including Les Cocalières Rouge and Les Cocalières Blanc , wines with long aging in tuns and barrels, all in freshness, well structured and balanced.
