In fact, they were already present on the first Clerical registers of the 17th century. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The oldest part of the building (now the tasting cellar) dates back to the 12th century and is said to have belonged to the Knights Templar. A farmer was in charge of livestock and crops. This farmer was called &#8220;Chasal&#8221;, a word that over time was to become &#8220;Cazaux&#8221;, the current name of the estate.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first vineyard was planted in the mid-19th century, on the poorest terroirs where nothing else could grow. At a time when food sufficiency was a central concern, the vines simply ensured the family&#8217;s consumption of wine. In the 20th century, vine cultivation intensified, becoming a monoculture from 1957, immediately after the catastrophic frosts of 1956, which devastated olive, apricot and cherry orchards.  <\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id_7bfd65-a9 > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:center;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id_7bfd65-a9 > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:center;}.kb-row-layout-id_7bfd65-a9 > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);padding-top:2rem;padding-bottom:2rem;grid-template-columns:repeat(2, minmax(0, 1fr));}.kb-row-layout-id_7bfd65-a9 > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}.kb-row-layout-id_7bfd65-a9 .kt-row-layout-bottom-sep{height:100px;}.kb-row-layout-id_7bfd65-a9 .kt-row-layout-bottom-sep svg{width:100%;}.kb-row-layout-id_7bfd65-a9 .kt-row-layout-bottom-sep svg{fill:#ffffff!important;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-row-layout-id_7bfd65-a9 > .kt-row-column-wrap{padding-top:2rem;padding-bottom:2rem;grid-template-columns:repeat(2, minmax(0, 1fr));}}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-row-layout-id_7bfd65-a9 .kt-row-layout-bottom-sep{height:px;}}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-row-layout-id_7bfd65-a9 .kt-row-layout-bottom-sep svg{width:%;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kb-row-layout-id_7bfd65-a9 > .kt-row-column-wrap{padding-top:2rem;padding-bottom:0rem;grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}.kb-row-layout-id_7bfd65-a9 > .kt-row-column-wrap > .wp-block-kadence-column:nth-child(1 of *:not(style)){order:2;}.kb-row-layout-id_7bfd65-a9 > .kt-row-column-wrap > .wp-block-kadence-column:nth-child(2 of *:not(style)){order:1;}.kb-row-layout-id_7bfd65-a9 > .kt-row-column-wrap > .wp-block-kadence-column:nth-child(3 of *:not(style)){order:12;}.kb-row-layout-id_7bfd65-a9 > .kt-row-column-wrap > .wp-block-kadence-column:nth-child(4 of *:not(style)){order:11;}.kb-row-layout-id_7bfd65-a9 > .kt-row-column-wrap > .wp-block-kadence-column:nth-child(5 of *:not(style)){order:22;}.kb-row-layout-id_7bfd65-a9 > .kt-row-column-wrap > .wp-block-kadence-column:nth-child(6 of *:not(style)){order:21;}.kb-row-layout-id_7bfd65-a9 > .kt-row-column-wrap > .wp-block-kadence-column:nth-child(7 of *:not(style)){order:32;}.kb-row-layout-id_7bfd65-a9 > .kt-row-column-wrap > .wp-block-kadence-column:nth-child(8 of *:not(style)){order:31;}.kb-row-layout-id_7bfd65-a9 .kt-row-layout-bottom-sep{height:px;}.kb-row-layout-id_7bfd65-a9 .kt-row-layout-bottom-sep svg{width:%;}}<\/style><section class=\"kb-row-layout-wrap kb-row-layout-id_7bfd65-a9 alignnone wp-block-kadence-rowlayout\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-2-columns kt-row-layout-equal kt-tab-layout-equal kt-mobile-layout-row kt-row-valign-middle\">\n<style>.kadence-column_3dbd33-6f > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column_3dbd33-6f > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column_3dbd33-6f > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column_3dbd33-6f > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column_3dbd33-6f > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column_3dbd33-6f > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column_3dbd33-6f{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column_3dbd33-6f > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column_3dbd33-6f > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column_3dbd33-6f inner-column-1\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\">\n<p>In those years, major decisions were made:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the early 1950s, the Archimbaud family pioneered the marketing of their bottled wine, enlarged by consolidating the land around the Cazaux building, to create a 20-hectare estate.

Jean-Michel is a real mine of energy, giving rhythm and meaning to every situation, always positive and clear in his choices: he combines creativity and rigor. It&#8217;s Latin in the truest sense of the word. It&#8217;s easy to imagine him in the 2nd century, in the same place, wearing a tunic on a subligaculum with caligae, organizing the cultivation of the centuries that a consul had assigned to him. Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric is as calm as his brother is electric: he&#8217;s driven by reflection, the hindsight that enables him to make the best decision. He&#8217;s meticulous and thoughtful. This craftsman&#8217;s proverb could easily apply to him: &#8220;to work fast, you have to work slow&#8221;. To form such a harmonious duo, beyond appearances, Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric and Jean-Michel have in common everything their parents passed on to them.
