The history of LORGERIL family started at Pennautier in 1620 under the reign of Louis XII, when Bernard de Pennautier, Treasurer of the States of Languedoc, laid the first stone of the chateau…On 14 July 1622, the young king of France came to visit. As a gesture of gratitude to his host, he offered him his travel furniture, which is still kept in the room Louis XIII stayed in. Taking over from his father in 1650, Pierre Louis de Pennautier decided to build an extension to the chateau and entrusted the work to the architect Le Vau, who designed Versailles, and to the famous landscape designer Le N?tre. LORGERIL family has patiently built a philosophy and a wine culture over years. Far removed from passing fads and whims, the aim is to express as naturally as possible the fabulous terroirs of this land of garrigue and mountains, cooled by the Mistral, Cers and Tramonane winds and tempered by the Mediterranean Sea.
