DOMAINE DE BACHELLERY : Angel Fine Wines, - New World wines from the Old World

DOMAINE DE BACHELLERY

Bachellery is situated alongside the ancient Via Domitia Romana, in the heart of the Languedoc area in the South of France, facing the Mediterranean sea. The Béziers region has been an agriculture area since ancient times, producing wheat, vines and olive trees.

The Domaine de Bachellery is a very old estate, listed in the city’s records since the Middle Ages. Jacques de Bachelier, the Président of the Royal Court of Justice of Béziers, settled with his family in 1548 in this beautiful XV century fortress and gave his name the Domaine.

Bernard JULIEN has been running the estate for almost 25 years now, renewing the vineyard and developing his range of wines. Always passionately fond of wines, Bernard JULIEN launched his own wine in bottles in 1992.

His only daughter, Soeur Jacquette de Bachelier, founded a charity monastic order and when she died, leaving all her possessions to the Church, Bachellery became the property of the powerful Priory of Cassan, like its neighbour Cabrials. It belonged to the Church until the French Revolution and was then was bought by rich families from the region. The Domaine has built up the reputation of its wines throughout the years.
