Château de Jau –
Art, cuisine and wine in Roussillon

Château de Jau lies in the heart of Roussillon , nestled in a Mediterranean landscape that attracted monks as early as the 12th century. The Dauré family has managed the estate since 1973, giving it a distinctive character: contemporary art hangs in the cellars and estate buildings, while outside, Syrah, Grenache, and Carignan grapes thrive on 100 hectares of diverse soils.

The wines reflect this complexity: powerful and sun-ripened, yet with the freshness that Roussillon produces in its best vineyards. Vinification is done with a focus on the terroir – no manipulation, no concealment of origin.

Visitors to the Château will find a grill restaurant that captures the spirit of the estate on the plate: lamb and sausages grilled over grapevines, bread with tomato and olive oil. Southern French lifestyle without pretense – and a good indicator of which dishes Jau's wines best complement.
