Charming Turnkey Wine Estate – Caux (Hérault, South of France) Nestled in the picturesque village of Caux, just 10 minutes from Pézenas, the historic and culturally rich town closely associated with Molière, this human-scale organic wine estate offers an exceptional lifestyle and a well-established business opportunity. The property also includes a cosy and characterful winemaker’s house in excellent condition. It harmoniously blends authentic charm — with original floor tiles, exposed beams, and traditional features — with modern-day comfort. The home offers three bedrooms, two elegant bathrooms, a bright lounge, an open-plan fully fitted kitchen, and a lovely terrace with open views across the vines and surrounding countryside. Contemporary upgrades such as reversible air conditioning and modern bathroom fittings provide year-round comfort while preserving the warmth and soul of a historic village home. The estate is fully equipped for winemaking, offering a professional and immediately operational setup. It includes a fully fitted winery with easy street access, a barrel cellar ideal for ageing wines, a temperature-controlled and insulated storage room, and a welcoming, climate-controlled tasting and retail space with disabled access. There is also a practical shelter for agricultural equipment. The property is connected to mains water, has a well, is hooked up to the public sewer system, and benefits from fibre-optic internet and 380V electricity. The Vineyard The estate includes 6.3 hectares of vineyards, classified as AOP Languedoc (with pending recognition under AOP Pézenas) and IGP. The vines are planted with a rich variety of red and white grape varieties: Cinsault, Grenache blanc et gris, Carignan noir, Syrah, Vermentino, and Grenache noir. Managed under certified organic farming, the vineyard follows strict, environmentally respectful practices. Several parcels are set on rare volcanic basalt soils, creating a distinctive terroir for high-quality wines. Business Activity A refined range of red, rosé and white wines is produced on-site, regularly awarded and enjoying international acclaim with coverage in the wine press abroad. Sales are well-balanced: 40% exported, 40% sold within France, and 20% sold directly at the estate. There is a strong annual turnover with significant growth potential. Both the brand and an established client database are included in the sale. Accounts on request.

For buyers seeking a smooth transition or lacking prior experience, tailored support and guidance — including training, know-how transfer, and integration into the local network — can be provided by separate agreement.
