Legacy of the priory of Milhegrand, stronghold of the abbey of Lagrasse in the 12th century, the estate then became a smallholding, maintained by a whole line of winegrowers. Josiane and Jean-Pierre OROSQUETTE, themselves from these families dedicated to the vineyard, have in turn perpetuated this long chain. In the 1970s, they decided to leave the cooperative cellar to settle in their own private cellar. They therefore settled on the La Grave estate where the vineyard, due to lack of maintenance, was in poor condition. From the first harvest, they discovered a lot of white grapes. Surprise ! The majority grape variety is Maccabeu, very appreciated for its aromas, it allows La Grave to obtain a great reputation for its white wines! This is the legendary grape variety of La Grave! Today, their son Jean-François has taken over. While continuing to produce excellent white wines, he developed red (and rosé) wines, bringing them elegance and finesse. The next generation arrives with nephew Tristan (vineyard side) and Jean-François' son, Julien... his sister Marie follows closely behind him! Château La Grave produces its wines under 3 appellations (white, rosé and red).
