Chateau l’Ermite d’Auzan
About Chateau l’Ermite d’Auzan
A historic estate in the Costières de Nîmes, on the Southern edge of the Rhône Valley-founded by 11th-century hermits of the Sainte Cécile d’Estagel Abbey-is now led by the fourth-generation Castillon family. Overlooking the Mediterranean, the estate benefits from sun-soaked, south-facing vineyards planted on galets roulés—pebbly soils that bring freshness and complexity to the wines. Under the leadership of Jerome Castillon, the estate has embraced organic and biodynamic farming, producing elegant, expressive wines that reflect both the region’s heritage and a modern, environmentally conscious approach.
Why We Love Chateau l’Ermite d’Auzan
We love the deep roots, thoughtful farming, and the unmistakable Mediterranean soul that runs through its wines. Located just miles from the sea, the estate’s vineyards are bathed in sunlight and swept by coastal breezes, which bring both freshness and a subtle salinity that adds lift and complexity to the wines. With Castillon family’s stewardship, the organic and biodynamic practices have only enhanced the purity. Each bottle captures a sense of place that’s sunlit and beautifully expressive of southern France.
