Chateau de Cazeneuve wine maker, André Leenhardt, was first drawn to this area in 1987 when looking for parcels of land to create a herb nursery. The project floundered, but having fallen in love with the area he bought 20 ha of an existing wine estate.

Like all quality-conscious winemakers he keeps his yields low, down to a derisory 25-30hl/ha. He harvests by hand, practices traditional fermentation procedures and ages his wines in barrel.
