Château Saint Louis -- 'La Perdrix' Costières de Nîmes Rosé

When their daughter Zoé was born in 2012, Emilie and Vianney Castan felt a pull – to the land, to legacy, to something lasting. They found it in the sun-drenched limestone terraces of Terrasses du Larzac at Château Saint-Jean d’Aumières, and later at Château Saint-Louis La Perdrix in the windswept Costières de Nîmes. Their family home sits at the heart of the vineyards, a haven where kids build forts, friends linger, and harvest feasts stretch long into the night. Emilie calls it their “house of happiness” – alive with laughter, meals, and meaning. For the Castans, this isn’t just about wine; it’s about writing their story into the soil. With hands in the dirt and hearts in the work, they’re building a future meant to outlast them – because tomorrow matters more than today.
