We decided that our prices should never be below 25\u20ac without VAT per bottle when we release them to negociants.

It has great balance and drinkability.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\">This drinkability is very important to me because today&#8217;s consumer drinks Dauzac a few hours after buying it. Some customers are looking for maturity in the wine. This subject of drinkability is very important to us, that is the reason why we are well-accompanied by sommeliers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\"><span style=\"font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit;\"><em><strong><span style=\"font-style: inherit;\">G<\/span>:\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/span><strong><em>What future project are you currently working on?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\"><strong>LF<\/strong>: Welcoming our guests in the new Chartreuse.

I am happy with this distribution.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\">In France, it is important to be in good wine shops and on good tables. As for export, I am ready to travel again and to be 3 to 4 months a year with Dauzac&#8217;s customers. This is what I was doing before the pandemic: winemaker&#8217;s dinners, masterclasses&#8230; It is important to explain what we do to our customers and the travels are always very inspiring. For example, we do special packaging depending on the demands we have. You have to listen to the needs of the consumers and be innovative!

This wine comes from a one-hectare plot, without rootstock, and aged in dolia (3 hectolitre amphorae made in the Basque Country). By carrying out electrical resistivity tests, as we do on all our terroirs in order to know them better, it became apparent that a plot of just under one hectare could be suitable for planting free-standing vines. It is made up of very fine gravel and we felt that phylloxera could not be there. The first vintage was 2021.\u00a0We sold to our customers directly. For the next vintages, we will offer them to our closest partner negociants and Roland Coiffe will be among them.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-6534 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/insidelaplace.rcassocies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/https___www.chateaudauzac.com_wp-content_uploads_2019_12_galerie_photo_14-scaled.jpg\" alt='' width=\"387\" height=\"484\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\" data-wp-editing=\"1\"><strong>Website\u00a0 and\u00a0 Instagram<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.chateaudauzac.com\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3942 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/insidelaplace.rcassocies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/website.png\" alt='' width=\"45\" height=\"40\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p data-wp-editing=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/chateaudauzac\/?hl=fr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3939 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/insidelaplace.rcassocies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Instagram.png\" alt='' width=\"58\" height=\"47\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">The tasted wines<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\">We end this interview with a fascinating man with 100 ideas per day with a great tasting of Dauzac&#8217;s last 3 vintages.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\"><strong>Ch\u00e2teau Dauzac 2019<\/strong>: <em>73% cabernet sauvignon, 27% merlot, aged 65% in new barrels for 16 months\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\">Beautiful, deep aromas.
