Producer Profile
Based in the heart of the Languedoc in Lezignan-Corbières, Domaines Auriol is a family-owned winery set up in 1995 by the formidable Claude Vialade. As the daughter of a former wine estate manager, wine has always been second nature to Claude from early days where she would follow her father around the vineyards as a child to becoming the Director of the AOC Corbières Syndicate. Today Domaines Auriol is a producer as well as a négociant who prides itself in its Occitan roots. Their Estates and Family brands are great examples of the best wines this part of the Languedoc has to offer.
