En un regard
Le château en bref
The Château-Bas d'Aumelas, in the Hérault, succeeded an earlier castle built in the 10th century by the viscounts of Béziers, which was destroyed during the Wars of Religion. In the 16th century, under the sieur Bonnet, a former sheepfold was converted into a château flanked by two round towers and outbuildings. The estate has been owned by the d'Albenas family since the 18th century, and the family's wine-producing estate has existed for more than two hundred years. Brothers Jean-Philippe and Geoffroy d'Albenas revived organic viticulture there in 2002, after the estate had ceased operating in 1974. The château now houses a wine estate, hosts receptions and offers agritourism activities.
